Banner problems

[Paulcao]

Hi, I've got two questions:

1) This prolly has a really simple solution, but I cant seem to figure it out. I've got one banner that displays on all my pages. It's a *.png file so that I can have a transparent background. I usually use firefox, opera, and IE. The thing is, the banner looks fine in my firefox and in Opera browsers, but in Internet Explorer the background isn't transparent---it's like this weird color. Not exactly sure what i'm doing wrong.

2) I want to force a certain style (show all thumbs) on my most popular pictures page. I don't know how to do that since there isnt a 'customize' link for that page.

I'm not sure what other information you guys need to help me out. Thanks.

~PaulHi Paul, welcome to dgrin :wave

I've just updated the tutorial actually.

If you are using png's, add the following green stuff to your CSS:


#my_banner {
/*Display: none;*/
width: 750px;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://Paulcao.smugmug.com/photos/139936787-O.png) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaIma geLoader(enabled=true, sizingmethod=image, src='/photos/139936787-O.png');
/*}

Hope this helps.
