[Geomoose-users] PNG Transparency and IE6

[Dan Little]

:-) We tried implementing a lot of these hacks in the base of the source code.  Jim from the City of Saint Paul also tried to do it again to help with the 1.4 release, but really very few of them work.  Some of them worked on older patches of IE and some work on the latest IE6 patch but only in very specific circumstances (circumstances which GeoMOOSE apparently does not create).

I hate saying this, but the way we've tackled it is as follows:
1) Tell them to upgrade to IE7.
2) Tell people to use Firefox.
3) Replace the PNGs with GIFs.  (Thankfully the patent has expired.)

IE6 will be retired one day, and the use of PNGs in the application (not including the layers you might be creating) is fairly limited.  Nor does the use of PNG's hamper the interface in any significant manner.  I think it's reasonable to say that layer display needs to be limited to PNG and GIF to make IE happy but the use of PNG's in the application itself will probably stay.

Subject: [Geomoose-users] PNG Transparency and IE6

I know this is an issue with IE6 and there are various ways to tackle
this issue, but I am not having any success with any. I tried to add a
conditional statement to detect IE6 and to include a specific CSS that
supposivley appies to PNG Hack to IMG tags that include .png files but
this did not work either.

I am just curious what other GeoMoose users have done to overcome this
issue? Are there any recommendations? I included the conditional
statement in my main .html page and created a new css in the shared
folder to be included in that case but it did not seem to take effect.

I've also tried javascript implementations to no avail as well.

Thanks,
Nelson
