As some will have seen, I have a style that has PNG files with a semi-transparent fade-in effect on my site. (
www.brummiesfans.com/coppermine) Obviously this will pose IE5.5 and IE6 users some problems, so to get around them I have tried to use the JQuery PNGFIX method to overcome the problem. To do it I modified the header with:
<html (etc)>
<head>
<meta (etc)...>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="pluginpage.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.pngFix.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).pngFix();
});
</script>...
The files: "jquery-1.4.4.min.js" "pluginpage.js" and "jquery.pngFix.pack.js" were freshly downloaded yesterday and are all located in my "themes/brummies" directory, with CHMOD = 755
I had high hopes for this, but for some reason, it's not working. At work I have to use a PC that has IE6 on it, so can test the effectiveness of this script.
As much as I wish that IE6 would go away, there are still about 20%-25% of site visitors who use this browser, so it is quite important that this problem be overcome if at all possible.
Can anyone tell, have I implimented the script incorrectly into Coppermine, or is there any other reason why it is not working? I am assuming that the JS files go into the theme directory as they are proximate to the template that has the header info and therefore the paths match. I've noticed other jquery files in the Coppermine system, so hopefully there will be someone with the knowledge of how to make this one work too.
Thanks
Martin
p.s. - MODS - I have put this into the themes (visuals) category as I see it as ultimately a problem of what the theme looks like at the end of the day, in this case in a particular browser. If it is considered more suitable for another category/forum, then please feel free to move this thread.
