[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with transparent PNG's and IE6

[Glen Stampoultzis]

Okay.  Worked out what was going on.  The opacity was being set to 100
in IE which seems to have interacted poorly with the filter PNG
images.  Since setting 100 opacity is unnecessary I modified the code
to remove the opacity filter.  Hope this helps someone avoid wasting
lots of time one day. :-)
