PNGs on the web

(1/4) > >>

Pissed_Macman:
In order to make my site's logo look really cool I uploaded it as a PNG. When I'm in Mozilla it show's up fine, but when I view the page in IE theres a big fat "x" there. Are PNGs meant to be web image files and whos browsers will it show up in?

flap:
yes, pngs are fine and IE should be able to display them. what version is it?

Pissed_Macman:
Mac version 5.1, but I rarely use it so I don't care. As long as other people can see it.

Master of Reality:
i dont think IE can handle a transparent layer in PNG

rtgwbmsr:
Mildly OT

*Do not use PNGs too much (more than one or two on a page)*
They are too big, and will slow loading times down significantly. I used to use PNGs for most of the images on my front page and it took 97 seconds to load for a non-broadband user. I replaced them with JPGs (same visible quality) and now the site loads in 6 seconds on non-broadband and pretty much instantly on cable/dsl.
