Display transparent PNG images under IE6
One of the many problems with IE6 is that transparent 24-bit PNG images are not supported, the solution to this is simply to convert them to 8-bit images.
Under Photoshop:
Show Plain TextText code
- Select Save for Web (i.e. File -> Save for Web)
- Under settings select the drop down menu and select the PNG-8 format
Under Gimp 2.2.6 this can be done as follows:
Show Plain TextText code
- Convert the image to indexed color (i.e. Image -> Mode -> Indexed)
- Save the image as a PNG making sure "Save color with transparent pixels is selected" (i.e. File -> SaveAs)
