AFAIK, PNGs are not supported properly by IE and Netscape (presumably
neither Opera, but not too sure).
The graphics display perfectly on the browser that I have (which supports
PNG fully, and has since it was released).
Unfortunately it's on another platform and no longer being developed :-(
Your best bet would probably be to just use transparent GIFs until the
major browsers support PNG fully.
There is quite a bit about PNG browser support at the PNG home page
(URL?), if you have a look there you should find what limitations each
browser has.
Nice graphics BTW.
