No, it's a proprietory css filter from Microsoft. Dunno if it can be =

disabled, but it doesn't look like it. Should work in IE5.5 too.

You might be thinking of the common javascript hack that finds all HTML =
=

img tags which have png images, and then dynamically adds the =

AlphaImageLoader to the CSS. That would fail if JS is disabled, but for =
=

background images I think you have to specify the filter statically in t=
he =

CSS (as they aren't HTML elements). In any case this isn't a problem, as=
=

you simply have IE6-specific styles seperately and include them using IE=
=

conditional comments.
