[Plugin] PNG-Alpha Transparency for MSIE

Hi,

Does the spacer.png exists within the assets/images folder?

no it is in the assets/templates/default/images

I reset the plugin config to use assets/templates/default/images
but for some reason whe I use an <img inside the template it pulls in the spacer instead of the image,

is spacer suppose to be listed first then the image path ? This is they way it shows in the page source

This is the way it should work
the space is place over the image to make it work in IE

make sure that you set the image dimentions in your image tag

the img width/height are set, the image does not appear in any browser thats why I wasn’t sure what was going on, everything seems to be set properly, it seems the spacer image is overwriting the actual image

ok the plugin will only kick in, in internet explorer, so get the image to show in firefox and then get it to work with the plug in in internet explorer

so we would need more than one image ? one for firefox one for safari, etc
then use the plugin for IE not sure that make sense,

nope you do not need more than one image

IE is the problem it can not show png with transparancy alpha channel the right way.

so this plugin wil search for any png and wil run the plugin so IE dos make the transparency work

no need to change any thing yourself this plugin is just a tool that make png transparency work for IE.

I understand the nature of the plugin but what happens is the images don’t show up in any of the browsers, the plugin somehow changes all of them into indivisible spacers.

if I disabale the plugin then the images appear, strange

mm that is strange the plugin should only be activated when you use IE on Firefox the plugin should not be started at all

did you select the right system event? OnWebpagePreRender

yep but that’s alright, i’m not going to need it since i’ve joined the ranks of firefox promoters and IE will no longer be a concern, i’ll be recommending people use firefox instead of IE, the more people stop using IE the sooner IE will get put in the graveyard along with the rest of the junk browsers.

Run Firefox Run...
