Thanks so much for this PNG fix, I have tried others as well as been to numerous sites which claimed there was no such quick fix and never will be.
However, unfortunantly I do have to add to your list of "Known issues" So far I have not successfully been able to make the script work in IE 7 on a Citrix server connecting to a Windows domain from a Macintosh. I'll let you know if I can run it in Parellels or another remote server utility, but most of the users at my work are connected through Citrix and I'm finding it impossible for PNGs to load correctly this way. I guess it's color matching time!

Thanks again,
Jessica

You seem to be in the TIpster forum for some reason ;).

IE7 includes native PNG support so the script disables itself in that browser -- it's simply not needed. Check your IE7 installation perhaps if you're running it under some kind of emulation/virtualisation?

Good luck - Angus.

Sorry, I couldn't find a contact e-mail or an adequate forum...I misunderstood what this one was for, apologies.

and BTW, IE7 was not displaying my PNGs right on a regular Windows machine, and when I added the script it did do the trick..

Citrix is a remote server, which is connecting to a different machine so, yes it is emulated but I just thought I'd let you know since you asked people to tell you about encountered problems.
thanks,
Jessica

It's a possibility it was the previous script that I added and neglected to delete that was making the PNGs transparent, but regardless it's working.

OK, I've confirmed that it is your code that fixes my problem, except in Citrix and with repeat-y PNGs

I can't get the png's to do a rollover... it does the downstate but not the swapback to normal dealeo

Rollovers are in the standard example script? It definitely works with IMG SRC swapping, IE6 doesn't support :HOVER on non-link elements.

This fix is great, but my images are distorted and pixelated in IE7. Take a look:

Any idea why that is happening?

Oh please just post in the right forum :). The fix does nothing in IE7 anyway so it'll be a CSS problem elsewhere on the page I guess.
