alpha opacity and behavior: url(iepngfix.htc); not working in IE6

.idioma_es #logosFooter, .idioma_es #logosFooter li a {
    background: url(../nImg/microsites/logos/logos_footer.png) no-repeat scroll left top transparent;
    behavior: url(../../nJs/iepngfix.htc);

}

Result in Firefox: result in firefox

Result in Internet Explorer 6 (Based on IE Tester for Windows): result in Ie

the path of the .htc file is correct !

Any idea what i'm missing?

IE6 does not support the alpha channel for background images apart from in specific circumstances. There is no general fix, as there is for foreground images.

Look here: http://24ways.org/2007/supersleight-transparent-png-in-ie6

Check the first bit of text under 'The pitfalls' heading

Don't test this with IETester. It's not completely reliable.

You should use a virtual machine, but you can quickly test a page with http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/.

After Googling a little, I might have been a little unfair to IETester (though I still don't trust it).

Known problems and limitations :

  • CSS Filters are not working correctly in user mode : A solution is to launch IETester as admin user and CSS Filters will work.

You can try PIE - http://css3pie.com, that is working in IE6 too.
