I've had the same issue, and believe ...<b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/11889275">chip poutine</a></b><br /><i>I've had the same issue, and believe its related not to CSS but rather how older versions of IE handle transparent .png files, that is to say, not well.</i><br /><br />Chip was right when he said it was related to how older versions of IE- Trident- didn't have full support for transparent PNGs.<br /><br />What they'd tend to do is display a grey background (blame the software used to create the PNG), or in Tat's case, an off-colour blue background.<br /><br />This is because the colour is stored in the bKGD chunk of data in the PNG.<br /><br /><b>"How did Marv fix this ?" I hear you say.</b><br /><br />I have lots of crap floating about in my head, some of it useful information, most of it useless. I read an article on this topic a while ago (it might've been on <a href="http://alistapart.com/">A List Apart</a>, I'm not sure) which referred to a certain tool: <a href="http://entropymine.com/jason/tweakpng/">TweakPNG</a>.<br /><br />Once I had the program on my HD, I downloaded a copy of the 'broken' PNG, grabbed the RGB values of the background color value from the CSS, did some math-fu and plonked the resulting value into TweakPNG's interface.<br /><br />End result, Tat's blog looks just as good in an inferior rendering engine as it does in a superior one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
