Author PNG Transparency works in IE6 locally, but not from the server!

I used PSP6 to create a series of semi-transparent PNG format menu
buttons for a site I'm working on. I'm building my site using AceHTML 6
Pro. I'm attempting to make it compatible with both IE and FireFox.
Now for the fun part. FireFox works great, as expected. After much
research I got the PNG-24 transparency to work in IE using the solution
here http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/pngbehav...gbehavior.html. On my
local PC I have the files "pngbehavior.htc" and "blank.gif" in a
"contents" folder with the rest of my linked pages. And I have the
behavior referenced in my sites CSS. EVERYTHING works great locally.
However, when I upload everything to the server, using the exact same
file structure, IE6 does not show the transparencies!! FireFox still
shows everything correctly.

I am baffled.

Here's my site: http://www.nwlink.com/~arna

Any help would be awesome.

Thanx,
Gitan

If that link is supposed to show the non working png/script then its working
for me maybe.
I dont know what it should look like,but I see round buttons with a drop
shadow.

Trev,

Are you using IE6?
If you just see the buttons over the back-ground, w/o the gray boxes,
then that is what you should see.

If you have not found it yet, read about a way to overcome the
well-known failure of IE to display PNG transparency at
