PNG transparent fix for IE 6
Unit PNG Fix

- Issues? : It doesn’t correctly tile transparent background images. Instead, it’ll will stretch your image. Not a huge issue, but beware. Other than that quirk, this method works perfectly. I find myself using it more than the others.

- Issues? : You’ll find that this file is larger than the others. That is because fixing the transparency issues is only part of what it does!

- if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == 6.0) {
- alert(“Upgrade your browser, you big dummy!);

Some people might prefer to ignore IE6 all together – as a way of making a statement. I leave it up to you to use your judgment. However, your decision should reflect your audience. If you wish to show an alert to IE6 users, you could use jQuery’s browser() method to detect IE6.
