Is there a way to make it work? It works well in other browsers

Is there a way to make it work? It works well in other browsers but in MSIE 8 it acts as if the png has a solid background. Works fine with png images that have a solid background but often I need semitransparent pngs and changing the opacity of those with jQuery doesn’t work properly.

Also if it’s not possible or too complicated how would I hide such code from MSIE browsers? jQuery documentation says not to use jQuery.browser but to use jQuery.support but how do I test for this feature of properly handling 24 bit pngs?
