Hello, Yesterday I talked to a web developer who passed me a technique for using semi-transparent PNGs as background images even in IE6 and lower. The technique works, up to a point. See my test page at http://www.quirksmode.org/css/png/png.html .
I already had a private conversation with someone who knows this technique and drew my attention to a few bugs (can't use CSS height; links/form fields may become unclickable unless they have a z-index). Before continuing my investigation, though, I'd like to know whether this technique has already been described. Therefore my question is: can anyone point me to a page that explains the use of semi-transparent PNGs as background images in IE6 and lower through the MS-proprietary filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader declaration? Has anyone yet taken the logical step of writing a behavior.htc that incorporates this solution? Despite several Google searches I didn't find a real explanation/description, although several articles described several aspects of this solution. If there turns out to be no full description (including bugs) available, I'll have to write my own. Since I don't have too much time right now, I'm hoping that someone can point me to a description so that I can continue my real work.
