    Does anyone have a problem with the icons displaying large and pixelated in IE 6?
    Any tips on how to fix this?  Probably an IE issue, but I am hoping there is a work around.

    Thanks

      I use transparent png files, which arent supported by IE6, I use a little workaround to make pngs showing transparent in IE6.

      Do you only see large icons or do the icons also have a red "X" over them!?

      I have the same problem with IE6. I do not have a red X over the icons. In IE6 I have another problem as well.
      If I publish the module several times in the page for different cities, the icons for the first city don't display and they are ok (right size) for the second city. Everything works fine in Firefox.
      Thanks.

      To add to my precedent post, I found a workaround for the IE icon display bug for multiple cities. Define different suffix IDs for your different cities, and voila (see http://uat.motovirolo.com\)

      is there any way to change the image files to something other than a .png?  i tried the ultimate png fix plug in and Warnenas PngFix, none worked.  the icons are now the right size vertically, but still stretched out horizontally.  this is the best looking weather plug in, but it is frustrating that it does not work with ie6, which covers about 35% of my traffic.

      As far as I can see there is a pngfix used in the module. This pngfix causes the issue's with IE6.
      Look f.i. at: http://jeco.gcharderwold.nl

      In my opinion the maker of the component should fix this.

      my solution was very simple

      change line 61 of tmpl/default.php

      from :

      <img src="<?php echo $icons['image']; ?>" alt="<?php echo JText::_($icons['alt']); ?>" />

      to :

      <img src="<?php echo $icons['image']; ?>" alt="<?php echo JText::_($icons['alt']); ?>" height="32" width="32" />

      and that should do the trick

      Good Luck with it !
