  A good outline of the difference between png and gif.

  BOTH support transparency, but png supports variable transparency, gif transparency is either fully opaque or transparent for every pixel.

  If you don't want to use the script, you can also use switcher rules to supply different images to IE and other browsers

  html>body .element {
  background:png for good browser
  }

  .element {
  background:gif for shitball IE
  }

  IE can't understand the first rule and reads the second.
