png fix for IE8

[dornedain]

Hello everyone, I have this site, and in IE8 the PNG transparency doesn’t apply, so I was told to do a new CSS sheet with a PNG FIX for IE6 and IE8

the site is http://nealsrestaurant.com/newsite/index1.html

Thanks everyone

This works great, until the png needs to become clickable, as this method uses an overlay gif image.

I use that one:

It’s working flawless ;)

Transparent PNG problem in IE8? What are you trying to do?

Also, this is ridiculous http://nealsrestaurant.com/newsite/neals-inicio7.png I highly suggest you find an alternative method of display these!

@TT_Mark I know, that png is really huge. That’s why in the page I divided it in smaller sections.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Ah, it was still loading that image though when I checked earlier. Some of your ‘smaller sections’ still take 30 seconds to load and I’m on a pretty fast connection. You really need to shrink that, otherwise people will leave before they’ve even looked round the site

That image took me 36.15 seconds to load. Scrolling is suuuuper choppy for me as well.

There is absolutely no reason a user should be forced to download an image that is nearly 7mb! Not to mention the 2mb wood background.

Even when I have all of the images cached, it still takes a couple seconds to load.

Also seeing a grey rectangle down the site? You’re accessing to the 1.0.0 version of the page, already updated the INDEX.HTML of the folder.

Ah, thats much better!

Welll I found the main problem for IE8; My pngs are loaded in activex object; which lets me load a html inside the object, so all I need now is to tell IE8 that the background of my object is transparent…
