[OpenLayers-Users] IE6 requests FORMAT=image/GIF - solved

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Sorry,
that isn't totally right. That layer definition doesn't work in any 
browser of mine. The key factor is having it as an overlay layer. As a 
base layer it works. So it seems that the only solution to have an 
overlay layer with regions' opacity set, is to use png and 
'alpha:true'-setting. I can provide you a live example of this problem, 
if you like. If this is true, I'll be better off by just announcing: 
"Dont try this with IE6.". Yet so many people are still using Windows 
2000 and IE.
