[Chameleon] Internet Explorer and PNG?

[Thijs Brentjens]

Hi,

The problem still exists in IE, as far as I know. At least in a project of 
us we still have it. So Tyler, you didn't do anything wrong, but you could 
blaim IE if you'd like. There is a workaround (PNG Hack) however, although 
it costs some performance. You can find info on it here: 
http://www.mongus.net/pngInfo/.

To get it working in Chameleon, you should change (in pngHack.htc) the line:
      if ((src.indexOf("png") == -1) //...
  into:
      if ((src.indexOf(".png") == -1) && (src.indexOf("drawmap.php") == 
-1)) //..

And to make sure that the pngHack is used, add this to your template:

<link rel=stylesheet href="/pngHack/pngHack.css" type="text/css">

For our project it works (also for PNG24), hopefully it is of any use for 
you too.

regards,
Thijs
