Well Busy is right, and wrong. Down with ie - definately! There is a hack for getting png transparency in ie though.

The methods aren't very versatile, because IE isn't very versatile (yes we all hate that browser too). The only way I can think around your problem is:

Create a bunch of divs - one for each image.
Add the hack to the divs so they all display png's correctly in ie.
Hack that rotation script to hide and show divs instead of swapping images.

Confused? I would be too. There's no out of the box solution for this, wish I had time to write one. I reckon it'd take about 1-2 days to fix, maybe less if all went well.

I can point you towards a png hack I did write.

If you found a way of using that and the switcher together, then your problem is solved.

IE doesn't support PNG transparency

way around it is to use .gif's There are some hacks around but none 100% and don't downgrade very far. Even if IE7 supports them, IE5 and 6 don't so would be another 4 years or so before you could use them for largest amount of IE viewers.

Spread the word, mozilla and opera are the way to go ... down with IE
