TF2 motd webpage redirect using ie6 engine

Cooltad · **Author**

I need to know how I can make an image on a webpage my motd links to show in ie6. I thought it was the transparency of the .png before so I changed that so there's no transparency in it, and instead of not showing any image it now shows the ie6 little white box wioth the shapes in it showing its trying to download the image, but the image never shows.

In case your wondering my png image is cool because it makes it look like the normal chalkboard but better.

I'd really like some help on this. I'm good at web and everything but I do need help with this particular problem.

Why not use gif instead of png? That might work.

well that problem before was transparency for source's ie6 engine (which goes to ie7 when you install ie7 and that fixes it). so to fix it i tried simply making the png not transparent. so that means any image wouldn't work and I'm trying to figure out why.

So it just doesn't load at all? Is it like that for others who are using IE6 as well, or just you?

I have IE7 installed. Others saw just the icon with shapes in it whome had IE6.
Here is the source:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/><title>Welcome to T3 Clan Official Chaotix Server</title><style type="text/css">
html,body{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;overflow:hidden}
img#bg{background-color:#676570;position:fixed;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}
#content{position:relative;z-index:1;margin:0 auto}
</style></head>
<body>
<img id="bg"/>
<div id="content">
<img src="http://thetoptiers.com/tf/t3clan_motd13.png"/>
</div>
</body></html>

(the background blackboard img used to be where the img tag is)

Kay, so I fixed it by making separate images and having a different one load by using conditional comments.

I'm getting a 404 on that image.

I updated the image and changed the name (forces people whove already seen the motd to see the updated one and recache it) so of course it's a 404. But I fixed the problem, like I said.

No it wasn't, and your just advertising an image host; what your offering was far from what I needed before.
