It's a stupid little "dress my dog" thing with bad graphics (for now). My problem is that I see the clothing in Firefox on WinXP and Win2K, and I see the clothing in IE6 on WinXP -- but not on Win2K. Why? It could be a .png thing or a css thing but either way doesn't seem to make sense to me? If you're using IE6 on Win2K please let me know if you can see it or not, or any others that can't see it. But I'm still wondering why I can't see the effect at my work computer and I'm curious how many others also can't see this amazingly cheezy thing.

It kind of works on NS4.7 (doesn't support transparencies) so should work in IE

I am using IE 6 on Win XP Home with SP2, and I don't see the clothes. In Firefox I do.

Yes, you are absolutely right, the clothing cannot be seen on IE 6 on W2K, I just tested it with a Mozzila also and they showed up Smiling

If you're using PNG-8 files, there should be no issue with transparency. IE only has issues with PNG-24.

I think the problem lies in the javascript...

Well on my home page I use png files too and have never had a problem. So I agree it looks like the problem is with the script. Problem for me is that I didn't write the .js file that makes the magic happen, so I can't fix it. Sad Oh well, it would've been a funny idea once I got some better looking clothing. Thanks everybody for confirming how it looks on other computers.
