The URL is http://www.gluetest.co.za/hyperauction. When entering the page there is a part above the image that should have a transparent background. When you follow one of the links in the top menu the content body, notice that the min-height CSS rule isn’t working either. Here is the CSS class that I’m using:

.content_body { filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='images/transparent.png',sizingMethod='scale'); width: 750px; min-height:450px; padding:15px; text-align:left; }
I’ve read that in some examples they use a CSS rule “background-image:none” and I’ve tried that but it doesn’t work either.

I appreciate your help a lot because this site is due tuesday and I’m practically just a newbie.

i’ve tried using the style sheet hack but it doesn’t want to work. i’m using a png image that’s basicly a grey square with 75% transparency and i’m using it as my div’s background-image. any suggestions?

I have been fighting this issue on my blog for nearly 3 months now. Have a look at my logo on the top. It looks especially bad on dark black bg that I have. I have let it alone. Approx 20% of my users are IE6 and see the background instead of the transparency. Now I am going to fix this problem. Thanks for the info…
