*** Native Joomla! 1.5 version now available! ***

The "Ultimate PNG Fix" Plugin (for IE up to version 6.x) gives you the ability to correct "alpha" transparency for BOTH inline and background 24/32-bit PNG images on Internet Explorer (from version 5 up to version 6.x, versions 7+ support PNG transparency natively). It does that by triggering some optional filters in IE using Javascript and thus achieving alpha transparency.

Freely speaking, this plugin "eases" the implementation of PNG alpha transparency for everyone by correctly inserting the appropriate Javascript code (including correct file and image paths).

"Inline" PNG images are the ones that you would use inside your joomla content items or inside your template with a normal tag. "Background" PNG images are the ones that you would normally include in your template's css file, e.g.

[code]
.header {
background:#c0c0c0 url(../images/transparent.png) no-repeat;
width:100px;
height:80px;
}
[/code]

There are no restrictions on how we write the code in our css file, we can freely use background pngs even when we use shorthand syntax (which does not work in other proposed solutions).

And best of all? There is no HTML hassle at all! Just install the plugin, publish it and there you have it! Full PNG alpha transparency for your template graphics on Internet Explorer up to version 6!

*** IMPORTANT ***
Please read carefully the usage suggestions inside the plugin's admin for better implementation, as IE posses some limitations on PNG usage in general.
