Banner not transparent in IE

[crockett]

Hello,

I created a banner and placed it on my site via a tuturiol found on dgrin. Works great on Firefox. Today I check it on IE and it is not transparent but has a colored block background.

How do I correct this?

Thanks in advnace,

David

IE6 is not smart enough to handle the png transparency. So you have to help it. Add the red, do NOT add the green asterisk, it's only there so the code will display properly on Dgrin and not as a smiliey.

#my_banner {
width: 750px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://alwaysone.smugmug.com/photos/135874890-O.png) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:*DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (enabled=true, sizingmethod=image, src='http://alwaysone.smugmug.com/photos/135874890-O.png');}

This makes the banner disapper? Did I miss something?

Thanks.

lose the space between the colon and the D here:

_filter:progid: DXImageTransform
