My question is regarding the jQuery Support system.
I’d like to know if it is possible to tell whether or not the browser will support semi-transparent background PNG images using this method.
Edit: I am not interested in CSS solutions to a specific problem. I’d like to know if the jQuery support checking system can check this. I appreciate the advice but I’m trying to find out a specific bit of information about the support feature of jQuery.
I think that is simply not possible, after all, even IE6 shows the transparent png’s, it just does not show the transparency; all browsers “support” png’s so you can´t check for that.
If you could get the color of a specific pixel on a page, you could of course, but it seems that is impossible to do.
