IE Bites
I had been aware for sometime of a hack that lets you use transparent PNGs with IE on windows. I had hoped to implement this hack for this site, as I use the alpha channel in PNGs a fair bit. Turns out that most of those hacks work on literal <img> tags, which make the hack useless to me.
And my hate grows a bit inside me.
It's not that I want to hate IE. I'm not objecting to it on moral or philosophical grounds, it just doesn't do its job very well. For how many years have people been asking for PNG support, and only recently did MS give in and annouce that such support is on the way. IE 7 is still a ways away, and until that day come windows users will either have to use Firefox or not see the fully pretty.
