Those tests are from Nov 2000, by the way, and in fact were first created around 1998. This is a longstanding Win/IE bug that will not be fixed, ever. But indeed, if the tests depend on an alpha, then PNG is the only option anyway. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
