[jQuery] Transparent PNG IE plugin for jQuery?
IE does not perform well with PNGs as background objects. Microsoft
requires a PNG to be wrapped in on of their stupid filters in order to
make it transparent, and those filters won't work with background images
placed via CSS. I'm not sure how IE7 handles PNG backgrounds however.
So, in answer to your question, no, you can't use a transparent PNG as a
background image in IE. If you placed the image in a div and started
messing with z-index you could mimic the behavior however.

I could swear that I've seen it somewhere. This has to be possible, even
if
it's not in jQuery.

Andy,
I looked pretty extensively some weeks ago for exactly the same thing,
and
came up empty. There are several solutions available for IMG tags, as
you
state, but all of them seem to use imposition of a background on the
image
by inserting a SPAN tag. Hence, the solutions do not work for background
images themselves.
I unfortunately had to ultimately throw in the towel and use GIFs.
