Transparent PNG's in IE...

Well basically i'm wanting to create a half-transparent PNG to appear in my blog, now the problem is that in IE, the transparent bit is simply grey, not transparent - does IE not support it or something?

What are the PNG settings? This is what I get with the different PNG settings in IE.

I don't think IE can handle partial transparency. (assuming that's what you mean by half-transparent)

Good Point! I just tried this and it seems to work only with PNG-8 support. PNG-24 support works well in Firefox.

Here is a article about the lack of support for PNG in IE.

This also gives a CSS behavior solution if you prefer not to use a javascript solution.

Cheers for that imaginemn mate, it works spot on now!

Glad i asked now, it's been bugging me for ages - i hadn't even thought to save for web, i've just been saving as a standard PNG for some reason.
