Age of png revisited
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007Some time ago i stated that creating pages using transparent pngs will be easier and more feasible in the future now that IE7 is out.
I predicted that IE7 will get about 50% market share compared to about 20% it had back then. Well, all those statistics have to be taken lightly - as it is with statistics. My prediction is off my quite a margin anyway.

So we will have to hang in there until this sadness that IE6 is will grow out of the systems. From what i have seen in the past with other technologies this will take a long time.
The workarounds for transparency issues will remain and we will continue to use those IE filters to get our site to work in that sad thing that IE6 is.
