IE6 issues in Artisteer Version 2.2 -- fixed in 2.3? |

for those of you using 2.3, have the PNG issues in IE6 been addressed?
I've been working on a workaround with partial success, but would like to know if the new version is better before we upgrade.
If the issue persists, I'd love to hear about what other people have done to mitigate the issue. I have a partial fix (see below.)
Here's a sample of the problem (you'll need IE6 to see the problem):
http://culturesource.net/ie6test/page.html
This is a standard exported template, in IE6 all of the PNG files are gone. It seems to be an issue with fixPNG() or or maybe the GetStyleUrl() function in the javascript. Interestingly, the template looks fine when viewed locally (by opening the page.html file in IE6), but viewed on a server, either localhost development server or remotely on any web host, it all goes haywire.
I have a partial fix, by removing a few lines of css code and eliminating the reference to fixPNG, the png files become visible again, but without alpha transparency. Using DD_belatedPNG.js (google for it if interested), I can get most of the images to display, except that a few borders still go missing:

I'm hoping that Artisteer 2.3 fixes the problem natively, but if not, would love to hear from others interested in coming up with a solution! Artisteer is too good not to use, but unfortunately we get about 10-15% IE6 users, too many to ignore!
Thanks,
David

I am using .PNG fixes for IE6.

Hi Garry,
Are you using the generated .js code, or something like DD_belatedPNG? Are you using version 2.2 or 2.3? If you have a working solution I'd love to hear more about it, or see a URL if possible.
Thanks,
David

Just a quick update, it looks like IE6 with Service Pack 3 on XP displays 100% correctly. I use IETester on my Vista computer to run multiple versions of IE, and the PNGs break in that version of IE6.
Does anyone out there have IE6 SP2 or lower, running on XP, even Windows 95, 2000? I'd love to narrow this issue down just for client support purposes, anyone willing to share?
Here's a test URL using the default Artisteer template, generated from version 2.3:
