I just had the idea to check out this page in IE (6), and I must say…it looks like crap. For one thing, the .png files don’t work. They aren’t transparent. For another thing, where’s my sidebar?! Oh yeah, that’s right. Down at the bottom where I wanted it. Wait- Oh that’s right, it’s not supposed to be at the bottom. IT’S A FRIGGEN SIDEBAR.
The Internet Explorer Homepage.
The way that banner should look.
Update: While the page looks better in IE 7, most of the sidebar is still at the bottom. Congratulations on getting png transparency working, Microsoft! Also, the Opera-style page zoom is cool, but you can’t remove the menu bar from a Windows app. It’s a tradition that doesn’t need to be broken.
There’s a piece of JS you can put on the page to make the PNGs look right in IE: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/
