RE: forward browser script
This goes anywhere at the top of the page, just once, as long as it's before you use the next bit:
code:
<?php
$ua=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if(strstr($ua,'MSIE 2') OR strstr($ua,'MSIE 3') OR strstr($ua,'MSIE 4') OR strstr($ua,'MSIE 5') OR strstr($ua,'MSIE 6')) {
    $badie=TRUE;
}
else {
    $badie=FALSE;
}
?>
This bit goes any place that you want different code for Internet Explorer, as many times as you like:
code:
<?php
if($badie==FALSE) {
?>
<!-- normal html here -->
<?php
}
else {
?>
<!-- special html for IE here -->
<?php
}
?>
I still think that you should the original, transparent image all the time, and use the JavaScript fix to have it work properly in Internet Explorer (even Microsoft does it this way).

PNG in Windows IE is the website which explains the PNG problem and has the workaround script, with good instruction on how to use it. It makes PNGs with alpha channel work properly in Internet Explorer versions 5 and 6. It will let you use the image that you were first using, and have it work properly in most browsers. I'd use this method. I can help you put it into the website.

RE: forward browser script
rav0 code should work, but if it is only an image, here is a simpler way to do it: :P

code:
<?PHP
$browser= $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if(strstr($browser,'MSIE 2') OR strstr($browser,'MSIE 3') OR strstr($browser,'MSIE 4') OR strstr($browser,'MSIE 5') OR strstr($browser,'MSIE 6')) {
$showimage= "<img src=\"/images/ie-image.gif\" />";
}

else {
$showimage= "<img src=\"/images/normal-image.gif\" />";
}

echo $showimage;
?>

Just put that where you want the image to show. Change the image links of course, but leave the backshlashes (\\\\\) as it is important for the syantax. ;)

I suggest PHP, some browsers dont allow javascript. ;)
PHP is to do with your server and works the same on every browser :)

nope, has to be php. :P
But you may as well use it as an extension because php can make coding new pages so much easier. :)
