Does anyone know a working PNG transparency fix for IE6 that also works on background images (of divs)? All that I tried (over 5) do not fix background images consistently. Adobe Browser Lab shows it's fixed but the target browsers still get that bluish transparency.
Thank you.
Have you tried this one?

There are some very strange distortion in the images that are rendered via Apache Batik.This issue is not temporary as the distortion is happening every time the call is made, at the very same co-ordinates for the same svg. This happens in Linux environments and I am not able to reproduce this issue in mac OS environments.I am using Oswald custom font (from google fonts) and there is usage of transformation attributes like letter-spacing, rotate functionality.
Tried many of the suggestions like:
1) Verified if the Oswald font is registered to the Graphics environment.
2) Removed text transformation attributes like letter-spacing,rotate, but still the distortion is occuring. We have also replaced letter-spacing attributes with kerning.Tried with shape-rendering="geometricPrecision" also to no success.
3) Tried with other fonts and din't face the distortion with Arial custom font, but with Oswald, Roboto the distortion still exists.Our usecase needs Oswald Font, hence we cannot use Arial font.
4) Tried SVG fonts by embedding the svg fonts in the svg file - No success.
5) Tried trim functionality but no success.
6) Replaced the characters where the distortion is happening and the issue is solved, but I am not able to deduce anything from this.
7) Increased And decreased the font size by 1px where the distortion is happening and the issue is solved, but I am not able to deduce anything from this.
I found few threads where the reason was mentioned that Batik rendering varies per OS environment but was not able to find any solution. Was anyone able to solve this?
Upgrading JDK from 8 to 11 has solved the problem.
the img I made is suposed to be transparent but when I upload it to my web page it has a dark blueish background, just don't understand why .. please help, how can I check if its fully transparent ?
what browser? transparency in gif is just a color that you set as transparent and the browser must interpret it as transparent. Some older browsers don't work with it. If it displays correctly in any modern browser such as chrome for example, then the transparency is correctly set in your gif.
You can try another different software to save the GIF or a different method of selecting transparency, for example, by mask instead of by color. Or try a PNG format instead.
This is my second question, and I’m hoping to resolve an issue that I haven’t found addressed, though I did search for an answer.
Links and screenshots to problem are below. Using Fireworks CS5, I have created an animated gif consisting of 3 states that loops 3 times. It is built on layers, with the 3 states sharing only a background border. They do not share the background (the background is grouped layer consisting of a red box with a clipping path of white, which seems to work in the first two states, but fails in the third state) itself, or any other element.
It is a tile ad for an html e-newsletter, and it works on some clients (gmail, for instance), but the final state does not render properly in other clients (mac mail, for instance). To add to the issue, the same file was rendering correctly in Mac Mail earlier. The gif works if I open it in a browser (usually), as well.
I thought that animated gifs were very stable across platforms except for problems with looping in Outlook 2007 and I've never had this issue before (granted my experience is limited). Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have advice on this issue?
Many thanks,
Andrew.
Link to the good. This is the animated gif file. It may not work in all browsers (I did test the file thoroughly, but the weird issue just seems completely sporadic), but renders correctly in latest Firefox for Mac OS 10.7x.
Link to the bad. The third state is see-through, the background layer is not rendering.
Turn Off the Alpha Transparency in the optimization panel. After carefully examining each state, I realized that I had Alpha Transparency turned ON in the export. Even though each state had a solid red back ground, and even though the other states correctly rendered the solid red background, the Alpha Transparency was messing up the last state of the animation. To correct it, I simply turned OFF the Alpha Transparency. I don't know why I didn't think about that as the solution before. I hope this answer helps someone!
I am building a website with a TON of png-24 files that have transparent background. In IE 6 they obviously aren't displayed correctly, so I need some sort of reliable, good solution that will fix the PNG problem in IE and require little work and be reliable. Any good ideas?
For IE6 transparency I follow a personal flow:
1. If there is just one or two PNG images (like a logo, or a normal image) I just use filter:
#selector {background:none; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='test.png', sizingMethod='crop');}
Problems: If applied to a link, it will no longer be clickable. Possibly apply to the h1#logo and have the a be transparent.
2. If I have a lot of 24-bit PNG files, or special use cases (repeating background, etc), I use DD_belatedPNG
IMPORTANT FOR IE7 + IE8: You cannot animate or combine the filter:alpha (which is used for overall opacity on an element in IE and also used by jQuery to set opacity) property with 24-bit transparent PNG images. It changes it to look like 8-bit transparency, with everything that is not 100% opaque or transparent taking on a black background.
Here are a few good png fixes for ie6:

There are a lot IE PNG fixes on the net, which basically all work with the same technique. The older Internet Explorers do not support alpha in PNGs directly, but they all have a filter that does so. So writing the following code as part of a css of an object puts the image in the src to the background of the element:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='image.png');
That way, you can easily display transparency in the Internet Explorer. However it's a lot easier to just get one of the png fix scripts (in JavaScript) and include it to your page inside of conditional comments. Then the script will make all your images working automatically.
We used Dean Edwards' IE7 for this. (So named before IE7 came out.) It's been good for that kind of thing.
There are currently many options to get this working. The standard is apply a DirectX filter through CSS to change make the PNG transparent in IE6. There are even scripts that will automatically do this when the webpage loads from an IE6 or less client.

background image of type PNG is not transparent in ie6

How to use semi-transparent png images in IE6
This is a known issue in IE6: Transparent PNGs are only supported with some hacks.
This is a well-know bug. There are several workarounds, e.g. you can try using Google's ie7-js library.
I think you should definitely check the JQuery plugin called Supersleight, created by the guys on All In The Head & 24 Ways. They fixed some problems that comes with using AlphaImageLoader on IE6. From the 24 Ways page:
Works with both inline and background images, replacing the need for both sleight and bgsleight
Will automatically apply position: relative to links and form fields if they don’t already have position set. (Can be disabled.)
Can be run on the entire document, or just a selected part where you know the PNGs are. This is better for performance.
Detects background images set to no-repeat and sets the scaleMode to crop rather than scale.
The last one is the most important! Here are the links:
