Comments on: PNGPong v1.0.0: Displaying transparent PNGs in IE http://blog.psyrendust.com/2007/04/17/pngpong-public-release/ A mix of code and life, by Larry Gordon Tue, 17 Aug 2010 22:14:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Orion http://blog.psyrendust.com/2007/04/17/pngpong-public-release/comment-page-1/#comment-335 Orion Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:31:21 +0000 http://blog.psyrendust.com/2007/04/17/first-public-release-of-pngpong/#comment-335 * Download links are dead. Here are some questions. * Will any image be displayed in IE6 if user does not have flash player? * I was reading the documentation and found this "If any other browser is detected [other then IE6] the script will embed an tag into the div" What does that mean exactly? Will this work the same as setting background for a div in a stylesheet? * Does anyone know where I can download PNGpong? * Download links are dead.

Here are some questions.

* Will any image be displayed in IE6 if user does not have flash player?
* I was reading the documentation and found this “If any other browser is detected [other then IE6] the script will embed an tag into the div” What does that mean exactly? Will this work the same as setting background for a div in a stylesheet?
* Does anyone know where I can download PNGpong?

I can now see the image and alpha trans looks great on my !E6 box, BUT if I delete the flash viewer on that machine I can't see anything? I've used the swfobject.js before, but it has been a while. Do I need to change something in the js file? Micah Am I missing something here?

I popped open WinXP through <a href="http://www.parallels.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Parallels</a> and found the same issue as you did. I used <a href="http://www.xk72.com/charles/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Charles</a> to figure out the problem. Seems that I had moved my copy of swfobject.js from /global/swfobject.js to /global/js/swfobject.js. Once I updated this path in the html file located at <a href="http://www.psyrendust.com/projects/pngpong/example/" targe="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.psyrendust.com/projects/pngpong/example/</a> everything seemed to work ok. Adam let me know if you still need any help on this. Thing to note is that you should check to see if your paths to swfobject.js, pngpong.js, and pngpong.swf are all in the proper locations on your server. I'm working on another version that I plan to release in the next few week that removes the dependency on <a href="http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/</a>.

I'll take a look at this today and see what the problem is. I'm getting the same issue as you. I’ve been running on a Mac since I left CP+B.

You might remember me as the guy who built the maintenance schedule tool that you ended up mostly recoding (sorry) when you were at CPB :) I'm working on some new pages for them and trying to make use of pngpong. It still works on the live site, but my attempts to use it locally only work in non-IE browsers, where the regular png appears. In fact your example here isn't working in IE 6 or 7 either. Any ideas?
