First, you don't need the blank gif unless you're going the javascript route (i may be wrong here as i haven't seen your complete setup). As for the location of the image, you're best off placing it in a particular directory and providing the absolute path to it, eg. "/images/headers/logo.png". The point is that, with "../logo.png", the filter will otherwise always be looking for the image in the directory above the HTML page the CSS is being evaluated for. This severely limits where you can create pages. By providing an absolute path, it will always point directly to the image because it is not being evaluated from the position of the HTML file in the hierarchy but from document root--which never changes. I rarely use relative paths that point up the hierarchy, rather than further down. I can't remember the last time i did, in fact. Use absolute and save yourself some headaches. Also, are you sure you want to be using 'scale'? My guess is that you'd probably want sizingMethod='image' for a logo. What you have is for scaling the image to fit the container you're applying the filter to. That might not be what's best here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/filter/reference/filters/alphaimageloader.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/filter/reference/properties/sizingmethod_1.asp b ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
