I modified lib/menus/header.php as below so I could use .png (transparency) for Header Image (sidebar.php)... it's not working. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

<!--[if lte IE 6]><script type="text/javascript">DD_belatedPNG.fix('#main-content ul li,#sidebar,#sidebar-wrapper,#sidebar-title h1')</script><![endif]-->

Hi Yusuke,

I've been using a somewhat different approach to implement an ie6 png fix

Set it up following the instructions in the html file.

Any time a png img is encountered in ie6 it will show transparency correctly.

While you're at it take a look at http://ie6update.com/ and help get rid of IE6 entirely.

Hope that helps,

Hi Jerry,

Thanx!!! I've in fact downloaded the TwinHelix script... but thought of keeping the CMSB files as simple as possible. So since finding the png fix is implemented in the other area I wanted to take advantage of the script.

Hi yusuke,

It looks like you're using the function properly. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the problem might be.

An alternate approach would be to switch to a static background colour.

If you do get this figured out, please let us know!

Best of luck!
All the best,
Chris

Hi yusuke,

Here's the docs for that component:
http://www.dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/

I'd try experimenting with it on another page and get it working there first, then move it over into CMSB.

Hope that helps!

Hi Chris!
Hi Dave!

Thank you so much for your reply!!!
I figured it out. The answer was very simple. Here you go!

<!--[if lte IE 6]><script type="text/javascript">DD_belatedPNG.fix('#main-content ul li, #sidebar-title img')</script><![endif]-->

Hi yusuke,

Thanks for sharing your code. I'll add that to the next release so you won't have to fix it again after upgrading.

Thanks! :)
