    &nbsp; Looking at this post (<a
href="http://forum.jquery.com/topic/transparent-png-shows-black-edges-in-ie8">http://forum.jquery.com/topic/transparent-png-shows-black-edges-in-ie8</a>),
    it implies the problem can be fixed via CSS:<br>
    <br>
    .item img {<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; background: transparent;<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; -ms-filter:
    "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#00FFFFFF,endColorstr=#00FFFFFF)";
    /* IE8 */<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; filter:
    progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#00FFFFFF,endColorstr=#00FFFFFF);&nbsp;&nbsp;
    /* IE6 &amp; 7 */&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; zoom: 1;<br>
    }<br>
    <br>
    I don't know enough about CSS (or GeoMOOSE's use of CSS for the map
    image) to test it.&nbsp; What do you think?<br>

      &nbsp; Check your&nbsp; "opacity" setting for the WMS &lt;map-source&gt; in
      your map book and set it to 100 (or remove it).&nbsp; As Michael points
      out, IE has problems using both Alpha (a band in the image) and
      transparency (a setting in the browser) for a PNG image.<br>
