IE6 png issue

OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
IE: 9
IETester: v0.4.4
IE6 Tab

I am experiencing an issue with IETester not properly displaying transparency in PNG images when the ie alpha filter is applied using several of the popular PNG fixes available, including the following:

http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/demo/

http://labs.unitinteractive.com/unitpngfix.php


on either one of these sites (both of which i've tried for my website i'm testing) PNG images with the filter or fix applied don't appear in the layout. if i shut off the javascript using the dev tools, the images re-appear, but obviously don't have transparency.

I have IETester running as administrator, and I've tried all the different compatibility modes for the program, with no difference in results. Also, i tried several other versions of IETester back to .0.4.0 with the same result.

I looked through the forums, and couldn't find anyone else having the same problem. Anyone else that had an issue with windows 7 seemed to be able to fix it with administrator mode, which didn't make a difference for me.

The only other thing I would guess is that it may have something to do with my IE settings, which I tried turning the security settings down the whole way, which made no difference. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've exhausted everything I thought to try.

Fabrice, I appreciate the awesome tool you've given us, and if there's anything I can do to test in 64bit for you (if you deem that the problem) I'd be more than willing to help! I plan on donating once my business begins to gain steam!

Thanks!

Re: IE6 png issue

Hi shick11sp,
I had exactly that same problem.
Windows 7 32x
IE Upgraded to 9 Beta.
IETester v0.4.4
IE6 Tab

No PNG transparency for PNGs and no image at all when using PNG Fixes!
I tried both Administrator and regular user modes and no success!
After installing Microsoft Expression Web 3 and testing my pages, surprisingly I had the same problem Expression too!
I guessed that it may be because of the beta status of ie 9!
After uninstalling the ie 9 update from my installed updates and after 2 restarts, my IETester started to work!
And again Surprisingly, it works completely correct in both Administrator and regular modes!

Try uninstalling the ie 9 and testing your codes again!
I also tested both URLs you have mentioned in both Administrator and reqular user modes and both worked great!

And also for the PNGs plus transparency filter effect issues in IE7 that you may face in near future, some guy seems to have found a solution for that problem...

Let me know if this solves you problem! big_smile wink
