[mapserver-users] PNG files in Netscape

[Yu-Hsin Chen]

Check your Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Applications, scroll down in the description window you should have an entry of 'PNG Image File' which says handled by plugin.  I have 4.77 and I actually don't remember loading the plugin myself.  Anyway if you still have the problem try this link on the libpng home site: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngapbr.html#nn.  Or, install Netscape Communicator 7.0 PreRelease 1.  Starting Communicator 6 Netscape has PNG native support but 6.x kind of running slow.  I'm running 7.0PR1 on another machine and like it.

Subject:	[mapserver-users] PNG files in Netscape

I was testing out a simple application and I've found I can't get PNG files
to display in Netscape.  The test worked fine in IE, but in Netscape I get
an empty picture.  If I right-click on the empty icon then I get a "save-as"
dialog box.  Any ideas on why PNG files aren't displaying?

I'm using:
PWS server on NT
Netscape 4.79
php 4.2.2
Mapserver 3.6.1

Thanks,
