IE doesnt allow transparency. Atleast the older versions didnt, not sure about new ones.

there are codes floating around to force IE to use transparencies with png's just do a search if you cant find any let me know and i will find some code i wrote years ago

EDIT: here is a link of a forum i did some time back the forum is completely dead but it should work in IE

i found a post my gf made
http://support.danethical.com/index.php?forum=7&topic=32
and the relavent part is

.tablecell1 {
border-bottom: 1px #006699 solid;
border-left: 1px #006699 solid;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale src='http://www.exeus.danethicalhost.com/web/decursors/1x103.png');

}

.tablecell1[class]{ background-image:url(http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/77057/opacity/293CEB_1x1_66o.png);
}

the top bit is for IE most other browsers would use the last part, im sure if you searched there would be a better answer as the code above is based on something i did many years ago

seems that the newer versions of IE are trying to get rid of all such problems...
png transperancy was a big problem for some coders.
That is why they prefer gif

 

[BeZazz]

yer but with gif files they are either transparent or not where as png can do transparent to solid with different variances in between

It's described here - http://bjorkoy.com/post/show/8. Works fine and is very easy to set up.

and does this code need to be implemented on the same page as the image or sitewide?
