Hi all,

IE6 and older do not display the png files that give the sheet the nice corners, the block headers, or the menu when hovering it.

What could i do about it? This template was built by using artisteer 1.

Regards,

Sander

Hi Sander,

you should have a look here:
http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/

Use this png fix for older browsers ;) works very well here.

Best Regards,
Thomas

IE5 and 6 have some transparency issues, you need to add some transparency compatibility code

I will certainly have a look at the URL mentioned. It is also very helpfull to know what i am dealing with... :-)

In the meantime I have recreated the template in Artisteer 2, which also delivers the ie6 and ie7 stylesheets, however it still looks crappy...

what do i do wrong?

I applied Twin Helix fix and it worked with a few caveats.

Out-of-the-box that fix conflicts with the styles in style.ie6.css file, because it already sets PNG backgrounds to "none", making original images unavailable to Twin Helix script.

The solution is to edit style.ie6.css to remove these background setting rules and behaviors/filters. Then it works fine.

Probably this should be incorporated into Artisteer out of the box.
