Sent to me mom (works at microsoft, I'm anti-microsoft as much as I can just to bug her) tried to get her to get firefox, she hates it... XD

I sent her that link and laughed...

[saltydog]

This could be your chance..
Untill the problem is solved, it may be best to use a different browser..

Do IE7 support PNG files?
I know that IE6 does not support transparency.

If you see a blue background behind this logo, then your web browser doesn't support transparency  which is a nice effect to have when making websites



Firefox supports this

[Mad_Fred]

Yup, it should support that, JHB.

* Quicky checks and closes IE again... *   

Yep, it does.

I'm stilling using IE7.. Is the patch out?

I do have firefox, but I prefer to use IE..

[Agent|Austin]

Yeah that made me mad on some compatibility issues of a site I made. It had an IFrame that would reload every 30 seconds to check a twitter script and update twitter status, (since the php file that I made to check twitter status would not work inline, it had to be a iframe, and it looked fine on firefox, but on IE the iframe was a huge white box....

[Mad_Fred]

Yep the patch seems to be released indeed.
