I'm aware of that. If the website owner requires support for previous IE
versions (v6 which is unlikely to disappear anytime soon), then the author
may use the simple and clean css hack to provide the same png image
without transparency, matching the webpage's background:
element { background:url(logo.png); } /*this applies to all browsers,
including MSIE7*/
* html element { background-image:url(nonalpha-logo.png); } /*this is
recognised only by MSIE versions _less than_ 7 -- IOW that do not support
png's alpha channels.*/
