    do you use PNG?

    hey everyone-
    I thought I would see what everyone thinks about PNG.... I forgot about it but started fooling around with it, and its lossless compression is great. Why dont more people use it? It works in firefox, but what about the majority of browsers?

    give your opinion!

          FYI, folks, PNG is a standard.

              Most of the time I am using Macromedia Fireworks MX, so I use .png a lot.

              I do not use photoshop, only for some serious touching up of photo's. If you are skilled, fireworks can do as much as photoshop.

                  IE7 will (their words, trust it as you will)

                  Besides, there are ways around IE6's retardedness of the PNG standard. You can either use the following function (in javascript), or you can use PNGs whose background is set without the need for transparency. Either way, PNG is often times the best image format for a particular purpose.

                  Code:
                  function correctPNG() 
                     {
                     for(var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++)
                        {
                  	  var img = document.images[i]
                  	  var imgName = img.src.toUpperCase()
                  	  if (imgName.substring(imgName.length-3, imgName.length) hahahaha "PNG")
                  	     {
                  		 var imgID = (img.id) ? "id='" + img.id + "' " : ""
                  		 var imgClass = (img.className) ? "class='" + img.className + "' " : ""
                  		 var imgTitle = (img.title) ? "title='" + img.title + "' " : "title='" + img.alt + "' "
                  		 var imgStyle = "display:inline-block;" + img.style.cssText 
                  		 if (img.align hahahaha "left") imgStyle = "float:left;" + imgStyle
                  		 if (img.align hahahaha "right") imgStyle = "float:right;" + imgStyle
                  		 if (img.parentElement.href) imgStyle = "cursor:hand;" + imgStyle		
                  		 var strNewHTML = "<span " + imgID + imgClass + imgTitle
                  		 + " style=\"" + "width:" + img.width + "px; height:" + img.height + "px;" + imgStyle + ";"
                  	     + "filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader"
                  		 + "(src=\'" + img.src + "\', sizingMethod='scale');\"></span>" 
                  		 img.outerHTML = strNewHTML
                  		 i = i-1
                  	     }
                        }
                     }
                  window.attachEvent("onload", correctPNG);

                    I only use it when designing stuff in Fireworks, but even then I just use it like a .psd in photoshop.

                          I did some tests at once point and found that PNG files were larger than the equilvalent GIF files.. So that was enough for me not to bother...

                            depends on the content

                            There are plenty of files for which the reverse is true.
