IE6 Tester won't load this page. All other testers OK

This page loads perfectly fine by "real" IE6 but not in IE Tester's IE6.

http://www.80063r.com/marble_grn.htm

This could possibly be due to IE hacks in the CSS file:

Code:

BODY
{
    background: url(../images/Computer-Tutor-Logo.gif) no-repeat fixed center center;
    bac\kground /**/: url(../images/Computer-Tutor-Logo.png) no-repeat fixed center center;
}
.ballspan
{
    position: absolute;
    visibility: visible;
    top: -100px;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #000000;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background-image: url(../images/ball100grn.gif);
    bac\kground-image /**/: url(../images/ball100grn.png);
}

The hacks are there to prevent the transparent png's from being loaded by IE6 or less and use the transparent gif's instead.

I'm using Vista x64 if that could help.

Seems like a bad (or, at least, uncommon) workaround for the IE6 PNG problem...
Anyway, let's wait Fabrice look at it.

Please, be sure to launch IETester as admin : Under vista, IETester won't be able to use the png fix when not run as admin mode. see also :

Keep me informed if this trick is working or not.

I hope to solve this problem on a future version of IETester.

Re: IE6 Tester won't load this page. All other testers OK

I'm studying the pngfix and alternatives and figuring out how to incorporate a fix without breaking too much of my code.  It may take me a day or two.  Thanks for the references.

by the way, I have User Account Control turned off.  I hate it and I have plenty of security measures in place.  I don't have any problems with an administrator requirement since everything runs as administrator.  I would be clicking "Yes I really want to do this" thousands of times a day otherwise.
