RE: [Geoserver-users] png: Internet Explorer and Mozilla

It is definitely because IE does not support PNG transparancy.

Do a google search on IE transparent PNG.  You will find many Java Script 
solutions that use the DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader.

I have attached my combined version that meets my needs.  To use it include 
the following Java Script at the top of your page:

<!--[if gte IE 5.5000]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/pngfix.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

This assumes that you have a scripts directory under the directory where 
you page exists.
