The purpose of this plugin is to allow the use of a png graphic in a coolTip popup for Windows IE versions 5.5 and/or 6.0. It employs the method described in http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola. This plugin does not handle the special requirements for imagemaps and input images (see the above reference for information on how to handle these types of images.) This plugin has no effect when used in a browser that is not either version 5.5 or 6 of IE.  Windows IE versions prior to 5.5 do not support the filter that fixes the PNG problem.

To include this support module just place the following statements in the HEAD section of your document:

<script type="text/javascript" src="cCore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cPngFix.js"></script>

You only have to make sure that the cPngFix.js module is loaded after the core module.

Download this module as a zip file.

PNGFIX without fix and with fix

There is only a single command associated with this plugin. When used on the command line, this command toggles this command's current state to its opposite state.  The default value is 0, meaning that no fix is applied.  The two links above demonstrate its behavior.  When viewed in FireFox, or other Mozilla based browsers, there should be no difference between the two because these browsers can appropriately deal with a png image.  Notice the improvement between these two examples when viewed in IE 6.0 (or 5.5).
Variable: cd_pngfix
