hi everyone,

am trying to implement a geoserver/open layer solution.

now i need to use IE6, hence my image format needs to be GIF (as you
know PNG is not supported by IE6).

so my question is how can i achieve layer transparency with IE6 and
GIF format. i have tried

untiled = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
                    "Locality", "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms",
                    {
                        height: '600',
                        width: '600',
                        layers: 'my_layer',
                        styles: '',
                        transparent: 'TRUE',
                        format: format,
                        tiled: 'true',
                    },
{singleTile: true, isBaseLayer: false, opacity: 0.5, maxResolution: 500000, visibility: false} );

but am still not able to achieve transparency. if i use PNG and use
firefox it works. but i need to use IE6 and hence GIF.

any help.

thanks.
pete.
