As we all know, IEs before 7 have issues with PNG alpha transparencies, however I noticed that in IE 6 I was never having trouble with the site image in the upper right (for the monobook skin), even though using the Logo extension that would be a SVG image rasterized to PNG and should have the same issues. I found that in skins/common/IEFixes.js there is a fixalpha() function that fixes this issue for the logo image only. Would it be possible to modify that function so that it would do the same thing for all images that are on a page and not just the logo?
Inject the following into fixalpha() in IEFixes.js infront of the orginal if-statement: var array_version = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE") var version = parseFloat(array_version[1]) if (((version < 7 && version >= 5.5 && document.body.filters) || isMSIE55) && !doneIEAlphaFix) { for(var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++) { var img = document.images[i] var imgName = img.src.toUpperCase() if (imgName.substring(imgName.length-3, imgName.length) == "PNG") { var imgID = (img.id) ? "id='" + img.id + "' " : "" var imgClass = (img.className) ? "class='" + img.className + "' " : "" var imgTitle = (img.title) ? "title='" + img.title + "' " : "title='" + img.alt + "' " var imgStyle = "display:inline-block;" + img.style.cssText if (img.align == "left") imgStyle = "float:left;" + imgStyle if (img.align == "right") imgStyle = "float:right;" + imgStyle if (img.parentElement.href) imgStyle = "cursor:hand;" + imgStyle var strNewHTML = "<span " + imgID + imgClass + imgTitle + " style=\"" + "width:" + img.width + "px; height:" + img.height + "px;" + imgStyle + ";" + "filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader" + "(src=\'" + img.src + "\', sizingMethod='scale');\"></span>" img.outerHTML = strNewHTML i = i-1 } } doneIEAlphaFix = true; }
If you have to hack the code, it's probably not a WORKSFORME is it? :)
