Hello. I have come across an interesting problem I haven't been able to resolve yet.

I am using the HTC transparent PNG fix for IE6 on my website. I'm sure many of you are familiar with this way of doing things. I have noticed that if the png image itself does not have width and height attributes assigned to it, then the HTC does not take over the image and fix what its supposed to fix.

So my problem is this. The way I have my header logo displayed on my Wordpress site is by using the H1 tag, and defining the image inside the H1 tag itself. Obviously I can't define the image width and height inside the H1 tag, just the size of the box that it's in.

And I do have a the htc fix assigned to the img tag as well, but its not finding the logo, which as I have said is because the image does not have a width and height. I also tried adding the HTC behavior code to the H1 tag, but that did not work either.

Does anyone have a bright ideas on how to take care of this problem - WITHOUT just inserting my logo manually into the code?

Since you're using an image in your header, there is no point in putting it inside an H1 tag at all, the H1 will be unreadable by search engines or assistive technology.
Put the header in as a background on the div, give the div a fixed width and height - or, just put the header into the <div> (not as a background), give it the correct dimensions in the HTML and add the site title that's in the image to the ALT attribute. That would be far more accessible than and make more sense than what you're trying to do with the H1.

Yea, I suppose you're right. The reason its in a H1 tag in the first place is because that the way the original Wordpress theme designer did it. I tried taking it out of the H1 tag, but it caused the header to fall apart. I guess I will just have to spend a little more time with it to edit what he did.

Thanks,

Alrighty, all fixed!

It makes me wonder sometimes what people were thinking when they do the things they do.

Tell me about it
