hey guys, I just tested the 'slight' workaround for displaying png's on ie/win it didn't work.

so I'm wondering if being the png's are being used in a golive dhtml animation if this may be why. I'm trying to figure out what the prob variable could be. anyone have experience with slight having specific conflicts?

I couldn't find anything on the board speaking to this specifically, though it's been a long day, so if this is a repeat question feel free to say something in the order of hey junior, turn your [expletive deleted] brain back on and go to _____ where it's been addressed already.

thanks even so.

oh, I'm also wondering if simply turning on the alphaimageloader in the user's browser [using browser lightly] will allow png to be displayed, and if so, if there's a global fix to turn it on when detecting the crappy browser.

I think I might have mentioned in one of your previous threads about this that sleight.js has various issues with dhtml.

Trial and error is your best bet, or replace the png files with gifs and abandon the translucency idea.

hm. maybe my early onset dementia has put a blind spot with remembering the dhtml conflict.

yeah, I think it's time to figure a different strategy. thanks for your help.

hey. this is actually from a previous post, no response so I figure I'd post it here being it's relevant and could help others if this is in fact part of the prob:

going through the source I happened to notice a correlation between the boxes in ie, and something in the golive dhtml ani script. which is this: <cstrack layer="bag" parts="0,0,0,,1,1,#ccccff"></cstrack>

the reason why this is interesting is because ccccff appears to be the same color as the box background inserted in ie/pc when the png is in a floating box

anyone have any speculation? maybe it's just a coincidence. I tried deleting the color from one of the strings, but golive reinserted it. I guess it needs some color there, not sure if there's something I can put in its place to make the color value 'transparent'.
