Why doesn’t the plugin work with my site?
After troubleshooting a few sites, there are usually a couple things to look for in your rendered HTML in IE6.
1. Make sure your CSS is applied prior to this plugin’s code in your HEAD tags.
1. Make sure you have the correct CSS selectors defined (if applicable)
1. Check to see how the image is applied in CSS. I don’t know how picky the fixes are.
There are many options to choose from, which is the best?
Unfortunately there isn’t a single best PNG Fix method, otherwise everyone would be using it! Depending on how you have constructed your site, any of the fix methods offered can be the best for your situation. It might take a little testing, but you will find which one works best for you.
