Message I have a cached png32 map service. When I overlay the layer on my baseMap in IE 6 the transparent portions of the map are not transparent. When rendered in FF and IE7 the png renders as expected. Any thoughts on how to get IE 6 to render the png32 images correctly?

Thanks,

Ryan

Message Hi Ryan,

Here is something interesting for you to read.

IE6 does not support PNG24 and PNG32 transparency. I guess, your best bet is PNG8. It works for me.

Good Luck!
