Forever burnt into my mind is PNG alpha work-arounds in IE:

    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='image.png');


Hah, my thought as well, was a part of my standard page setup. And then using those transparent pngs to do rounded borders with 9 images nested within 9 divs!

Edit: and down memory lane: the spacer.gif


I have some bad news for you: "inspect" the whitespace to the left of any comment here.


9 divs? That sounds pretty modern. I remember tables with 9 cells, with cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 to remove spaces between those cells.


I remember both and I'm thankful that we were able to leave it behind.


Using images for rounded corners.....ugh. I forgot all about that.


Ha, fantastic line that one. Transparent pngs caused so much unnecessary trouble in IE6, it was very annoying, and limited our options as graphic designers.
