Hi Piet,

I can't retrace that with the IE6 - I have only the IE7  . But, with the IE7 is the display OK.

I am using the exact same version of Internet Explorer 6 (version 6.0.2900.2180). I have even tested it on another computer with Internet Explorer 6, and still got the same problem.

I haven't got IE7 - but I tested it in Firefox 2, Opera and Safari and the percentage bar displayed perfectly. It is only in Internet Explorer 6 in which it didn't display at all.

I have made quite an interesting discovery now. I installed PHP webstat on my local computer's server (localhost) - and this time the percentage bars displayed in ie6. So this means it must have something to do with our host, causing internet explorer not to display the percentage bars.

Our host server uses PHP 5.0.4 and has GD (2.0.34) and freetype support. My computer's server (localhost) has PHP 5.2.5 and also GD enabled.

So what could possible cause our host sever to let the percentage bar display in Firefox, Opera and Safari but not in ie6?

There is no ad blocker, and I also don't have any plugins or add-ons installed.

I have now managed to fix the problem. I just saved the transparent PNG file: percentimage_front.png as a transparent GIF file: percentimage_front.gif - and renamed all the percentimage_front.png in the file func_display.php to percentimage_front.gif. I also removed the
Code:

img, div { behavior: url(func/iepngfix.htc) } 

line from the stylesheet - since there was no use for it anymore. Now the percentage bar displays perfectly in ie6.

Why was percentimage_front.png ever saved as a transparent PNG, knowing well that Internet Explorer has problems displaying transparent PNG files and then forcing you to use func/iepngfix.htc - which doesn't even always work (did not work perfectly on my localhost when testing the php web statistik script out). Why not just stick with transparent GIF in the first place?

I find it very surprising that we are now in v3.5 - and that this problem has not yet been fixed.

I updated to the latest version (v3.5.8) - but it seems the update instructions did not cover the step to fix this problem. But when I do a clean install of the latest version, the percentage bars are displayed correcting in ie6.

I see you are still making use of transparent PNG images. Why did you not switch over to transparent GIF images?

Can you let me know what changes were made to fix this problem, so that I can make the necessary changes?

I uploaded the latest version (replacing all existing files) - except for the 'config' and 'log' folder, but I am still getting the same problem. Maybe the problem is server related. I think I will just go back to the way I fixed it before, as mentioned here.

My question is still: why not just use transparent GIF images? Then there is also no need to use the file func/iepngfix.htc

The reason for a PNG image is the fact that GIF images do not support half transparency. So we need a PNG image to use different style sheets.

The file func/html_header.php is the main file that has to be replaced to run without problems in the IE6.

Maybe you should empty the whole cache of the IE6. I hope that it will run then properly.
