Re: [wxCode-users] Re: top of webpage with internet explorer looks bad

[Angelo M. <ama...@gm...>]

png transparency was added to the IE 7 beta 2 that I tested.

IE 7 beta 2 still does not read the style color 'transparent'.  I use the
transparent property in Firefox to give a border to my elements, to use the
background color of the page.  In IE its a white border if you specify
transparent.  Quite annoying.
