his site uses mostly GIF images along with a few JPEG images. Even so, they
are amazing! | ||

To Internet Explorer Users
Internet Explorer (both v4 and v5) has an image class bug which prevent it from displaying png images directly without them being part of an HTML infrastructure (web page). So most of the image links here, which show the full PNG images with Netscape, bring up a <Save> requester in IE. This is a bit strange, because otherwise PNG support is a bit better in IE 4 than Netscape 4. IE 4 at least attempts to handle transparancy, and sometimes succeeds. It will be interesting to see if Netscape 5 gets everything right. Microsoft did not. Historical update: IE 6 shows the images without bringing up a requester. Netscape 7 (and its close-brethren Mozilla and Firefox) pretty much has everything right. IE lags in many areas now. Get Firefox! |
