PNG Images, Transparency & IE6: Answers To Theming-Hell
Submitted by Bevan Rudge on January 29, 2008 - 7:51pm.
I would never use a drupal module or javascript to fix IE6 suckiness with transparency in 24-bit PNGs.
After battling IE6 and image transparency on many sites I always do one of three things when tackling this issue:
- Firstly, if only binary transparency is required, I use an 8-bit PNG file. Binary transparency means that each pixel is either transparent xor colored (but not both, hence 'xor' for the eXclusive-or. When can we add 'xor' to the English dictionary?). The pixels in a 24-bit PNG can be both colored and transparent, and have 'alpha' transparency as opposed to binary transparency.

Never Use Another Plastic Bottle - Warning: Very Graphic Picture
Submitted by Aaron Pava on September 13, 2007 - 11:01am.
At Burning Man this year, I witnessed one of the most powerful images I've ever seen. (similar to my experience when CivicActions visited Greenpeace International's office in Amsterdam - and we gasped when viewing some of their own pictures from around the world)
This picture, by artist Chris Jordan, "depicts two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes."
