PNG support for IE6

  • Hi all!
    I’m working on a pretty complex theme for wordpress that uses many PNG transparencies. I use the PNGfix method to solve the PNG problem in IE6. So far so good. The index page displays properly, but the internal pages(single, page, archive) don’t display right. This is really strange since it works fine on the index page and the search page. At first I thought it could be the permalink confusing the file path to the PNGfix, but then I resolved that it can’t be if the rest of the CSS works just fine. I also tried the WP-Pngfix plugin, but it’s limited for my application. So I think this is strictly a WordPress issue since it works fine on index.php and then it breaks in the other pages. By the way, I placed my PNGfix resources on the root of the blog installation. Any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks!

  • Hi

    There are a number of PNG fix scripts with PNG Fix in their names. Which specific one are you using?

    That it works on one WordPress page kind of proves it’s not a WordPress problem. If it was it wouldn’t work at all.

    Most of the time it is a matter of a path not being specified correctly – you can not use relative paths. With some of those scripts you have to specify the specific CSS selectors you want the replacement taking place on. Others require you to indicate the path to a GIF used to mask the background. If that path is given as relative it can create problems finding the image on inner pages, the problem you are having. Some of the scripts can’t replace CSS background images, others can’t replace CSS background images that are repeating.

    I’ve used a number of them and had difficulty getting them set up correctly. Many have minimal documentation. It’s not the scripts, its me. I’ve had the best results with the jQuery one.
