Using transparent pngs in template

  • I would like to use a .png file in my template because it creates a better transparent image than gif. I realize that IE doesn’t currently support the transparent png but there are a variety of hacks which seem to work for everyone other than me. I’ve googled quite a few and tried different kinds…javascripts, css, alpha image loader, etc. and I can’t get any of them to work. The best I can do is get the broken image box not to show up.

    I created the transparent graphic in Photoshop Elements and saved is as png-24. I’m using a modified version of the journalized sand template and I’d like the graphic to go in the title box. Can anyone help, please?

    And while I’m here, is there a better way to search the forums that I’m missing? I know it’s annoying when people post questions that have already been answered but it seems when I use the search, all I get are completely unrelated items in the codex. If I try to use the tags, I can only view the first page of threads – the links after that do not work. I’d like to be able to do a better job of searching so that I can find answers and not be annoying.

    Thanks!

    That was actually one I’d already tried. All I can get with that is the broken image box.

    I put the .js code right above the </ head> tag in header.php and I put the img src right inside the titlebox, like this

    <div id="headerblock">

    <img src="atlasinfospace.png" width="279" height="34" alt="a PNG logo" />

    I unfortunately don’t have pages to demonstrate because this is on our intranet.
