ok here is the deal. I am working on a new webpage to get ready to get the comic going again, as with wedding planning and now me moving it has been down for about 6 months. I created a great new logo and buttons using .png format. Here is the problem. The transparency around the edges is not being transparent in Internet Exploder. Transparency is working fine in Firefox. Any ideas/suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?

IE 6 or 7? IE7 finally has it fixed, but IE6 still has problems with alpha and transparency on PNG. More info:

There's a workaround, but frankly, it's fucking stupid that Microsoft didn't just fix the damn thing in the first place. The AlphaLoader code is already in IE, so why doesn't it just use that sub for the PNG images?

Don't fucking get me started on IE and CSS!

Yeah I know I need to fix this, and I am not good at graphic design so I am doing teh best I can. I am using an all caps font, so I didnt realize until you did that that caps lock was on for that part. If you want to help, just let me know what messenger program I should sign onto, I would greatly appreciate it, I am kinda out of my element

Had to sign in on my pc before I had an aneurysm.

You cant use custom fonts on websites. The only way the visitor will be able to see them is if that same font is installed on their pc as well. Most people do not have beyond the basic windows fonts installed..so it appears like what Sine posted above to us.

I'm no great web designer, but I would be more than willing to help in any way I can. Sine hogs the big tv/pc/consoles, so I gots nothin better to do ;)

I added both, and all help would be appreciated

I am extra hindered by the fact that I only know HTML, and am just not the best at this.

And my AIM is JoshFicter and I am logged in now.

Give Dreamweaver a shot - ditch Namo.

I like getting slapped around, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone over the missionary...

Ah well, just a suggestion.
