Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] jpeg patent

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

Of course Mike, Matt and I had a nice chuckle this morning over MSIE's 
inability to handle transparent pngs.  The fact that they still have not 
supported it is simply mind boggling.  Articles on Microsoft's KB 
acknowledge it as a standard and something that they need to implement.

I may be a loose cannon, but on my sites I'm ready to go with transparent 
pngs and direct people to Mozilla, Phoenix, or K-Meleon if I detect an IE 
browser.
