Internet Explorer (IE) is a browser, there are different versions of it, and there are different ones that cannot display PNGs. PNGs are images that have the ability for transparency. It’s a great type of image, because of it’s transparancy.

The only thing is, IE 6 does not display them the way the should be displayed. IE6 displays PNGs with a grey background, which is a huge headache for web designers/developers. There are ways to get around it, but the fixes that have been out some of them are depreciated, and are not longer supported (I guess trial and error will have to do).

So, if you are using IE6 or even IE7- it’s time to upgrade, or switch browsers all together, and start using FIREFOX. Firefox is a great great browser that not only displays PNGs, it’s just better all around. Here are some links for more info on firefox:

Just read a little bit about it, and you’ll understand why it’s a better browser than IE.
