A sad reality: IE 6 and PNG

The one question I have is, “Why doesn’t Windows make it mandatory to update your browser with a Windows Update?”  I will admit I am a Mac enthusiast and one of the many things Apple does right is their software update.  Throughout the past few months I have come across a few clients that are still using the browser I can only describe as pure crap.  So instead of testing these sites in Internet Explorer 7/8, Firefox, and Safari, it’s also still a requirement to test in IE 6 if I choose to use a graphic format such as PNG.  Of course I could go with the format that is supported – GIF, but let’s be honest: It’s just as crappy as the browser itself.

Having said that, I had to find a fix to make the sites look exactly the way they should.  After trying a few PNG fixes I decided to go with one that was created by TwinHelix which you can find here.
