PNG transparency for MSIE 6

I ran into an issue last week with PNG and alpha transparency. It seems that most everything you read says that IE 6 supports PNG transparency with an easy hack. Used it, worked great ... so I thought.

What the majority of the articles don't spell out is that IE 6 only supports alpha transparency in PNG-32 format. Which unfortunately creates much larger file sizes as compared to PNG-8. :(

IE 7 however will display alpha transparency correctly in PNG-8 like the other popular browsers.

The sad fact is that around 30% of people using the internet are still on IE 6 as of this post. C'mon people upgrade your Internet Explorer browsers already. That or switch to Firefox, it's much faster anyway.

Firefox scroll bar aggravation

Fixed width centered layouts jump around in Firefox if the content scrolls on one page and not on another.

html {overflow-y: scroll;} FTW.

Gov't wants to decide who can be a Cherokee

In a nutshell, the Cherokee Nation passed a tribal law that said you had to be able to prove citizenship (according to the Dawes Roll), but the US Gov't sees that as racist against Black people and so they want to 'sever relations' with the tribe. Then out of the other side of their mouths they say that tribes will be prosecuted for harboring illegal aliens if they grant tribal citizenship to Mexicans.

Please urge your congressmen to pull their heads out of their asses. http://capwiz.com/cherokee/issues/alert/?alertid=10085201
