Started working on a couple of websites recently and have been rather busy. I haven’t done any programming in a couple of months, sp i was keen to get stuck into it again.
Last time i was programming some PHP it was PHP 4 and although a late move into it, decided to make the move to PHP 5. Making the move was much easier than i had expected and the features and improvements are of the new engine made it better to work with as well.
Aside from programming, while working on sites, i’ve re-visited the issue of displaying PNGs in various web browsers. In the past I’ve tried a few different techniques and i wanted to link to a couple of good ideas that I’ve found to display PNGs either correctly or at least with some transparency.
- A List Apart: Cross-Browser Variable Opacity with PNG
- PNG in Windows IE
- 32-bit PNG degradability in IE
The article from A List Apart is very good and offers a few solutions and why they aren’t the best way of displaying the PNG image, finally giving a good working solutions to the problem. The second and third links are both easy to use solutions that definitely come in handy when trying to get a PNG to work in IE.
I’ll end this post with a quote that i like to apply to many different things, in particular when working on a project.
Tis a lesson you should heed. Try, try again.
