Comments on: friends of PNG http://www.repeatpenguin.com/2007/04/14/friends-of-png/ website design : xhtml : css : mobile web ~ Delivered Repeatedly by Jeremy Anderson Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:54:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: penguin http://www.repeatpenguin.com/2007/04/14/friends-of-png/#comment-189 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 22:56:30 +0000 http://www.repeatpenguin.com/2007/04/14/friends-of-png/#comment-189 I just wanted to clear something up because a lot of people have been coming to this article looking for a fix for repeating background PNGs in IE6. There is no real fix for this or positioning those background image, using the Microsoft AlphaImageLoader. You can "fake" some x or y repeats, but what the AlphaImageLoader actually does is stretch the image, not repeat it. So, this doesn't work in many cases. But check back. I will post some nifty tricks to work around these short comings soon.
