IE Dislikes Transparent PNG

Ellen was looking at my blog at work today, using Internet Explorer for Windows, and the transparency in my PNG files didn't come through correctly. Instead of displaying the web page background, it displayed the color identified as transparent in the image. I remember reading of a similar problem at Real Life that Greg was able to fix, but I couldn't find a solution in Adobe Photoshop. I must be missing something. In the meantime, I've moved the navigation buttons back to GIF.

Turns out PNG transparency is really broken in Internet Explorer, and that Microsoft doesn't seem to care; notice the last updated date of Nov. 26, 2003. More details in PC Magazine.

I was informed of this by Max.
