With Theme Bluebreeze..
This is with how the logo displays.. ( You can check it out for yourself.. in firefox and in IE 6.0 .. www.bas.org.in )

^ This is with firefox.. all good there.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/Pavan/IEss1.jpg
^ Thats with IE.. Thats where the problem is..

Now, I downloaded the image from both the Browsers and pasted in MS word.. To my surprise.. They're actually different.. and its only the image as it looks in Firefox that I've uploaded !.. Now how in the world is this possible ?

..

Another request to ppl who can help me out

The calendar on my right side block isn't displaying properly to quite a few ppl. ( www.bas.org.in ). Going "Outside" the monitor..
Is this due to the screen resolution ? Anything that can be done to sort this out ?

Thanks in advance
Pavan

The logo problem is because IE6 does not properly use transparent.png files. IE7 does.

The problem with the calendar going off to the right, would more then likely be users screeen res. have you asked them what they are set at ?

800 x 600 i believe is the standard now, may even be higher than that.

Are you using a PNG image? IE 6 can't handle alpha channels in PNG images. There is a javascript that will work around this, but it only works for images in the body (not in CSS background properties).

A couple of options: modify the image so it doesn't have an alpha channel, try to make the edges of the image match your background.

Use a GIF. You'll only get a 1-bit alpha layer though, so you won't have the nice fade.

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Anyone who browses with IE6 is accustomed to web pages looking like crap, so I doubt they'll notice.

google up ie6 png transparency... have a read and decide for yourself...

they all involve using the IE transparency filter...

IMHO mostly I load a separate style sheet for ie6 that overrides the background property

#pngbgimageforie6{
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='your-fab-imag-here.png');
}

for a standard image it's kinda the same but you have to add an id to the image and put some extra attribs in....

#pngimageforie6 {
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enabled=true, src='your-fab-imag-here.png');
}

pretty much works for me... but remember to hide em from IE7....

you can also .class this if your images are the same...

and of course the best way is to dish up a dynamic stylesheet for ie5-6 under php so that if an image is .png it activates the rules above...

I'm kinda browser agnostic... but lets face it some of us drive on the RIGHT SIDE of the road... and others just drive...

There is a workaround for IE to make PNGs display properly.
