IE 7 beta 2 still does not read the style color 'transparent'. I use the transparent property in Firefox to give a border to my elements, to use the background color of the page. In IE its a white border if you specify transparent. Quite annoying.

I completely agree :)
The first program I install on a fresh windows is Firefox.
Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) IE cannot be completely uninstalled
from win AFAIK ;)

Angelo is perfectly right.
That's the problem.
I managed to find a fix for IE's lacking support of transparent PNG (for
the wxCode logo) but I could not get around this.
If anyone finds a way to fix this IE problem without affecting other
(correctly working !) browser, I'd be glad to apply the patch.
I tried to make the website as more conformant as possible to XHTML and
CSS2 but there are still some few problems with resizing, which I
planned to fix but never find time to...

they say that IE7 will have also transparent PNG support; we'll see if
this is true; AFAIK transparent image support in IE has been asked since
IE 5 !
