yget css: what are the IE fixes for?

[revolver]

Can someone explain what the iehfix and pngfix css below do?

I am working on a heavily modified (beyond recognition) version of yget and think I can remove this but want to make sure.

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
		<script src="{$my_pligg_base}/js/jspath.php" type="text/javascript"></script>
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/css/ie6.css" media="screen" />
	    <script type="text/javascript">
			if (typeof blankImg == 'undefined') var blankImg = my_pligg_base + '/templates/yget/images/blank.gif';
		</script>
	    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
		    body {literal}{{/literal}behavior:url({$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/css/iehfix.htc); {literal}}{/literal}
			img {literal}{{/literal}behavior:url({$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/css/iepngfix.htc); {literal}}{/literal}
	    </style>	
    <![endif]-->

IE 6 doesn't support transparent .png files so that code is so your site doesn't look really bad in IE 6 if you use transparent .png's

thanks kb.

Do you also know why the headers need to have position: relative set in the ie.css?

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {position:relative;}

Hey, the .htc bit is a :hover hack, IE6 doesn't support :hover on anything but <a> elements with href="" attribute set (more info: www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html
)

As for position: relative; hard to say without looking at the page, however {position: relative; } fixes A LOT of IE bugs, so that may be why it is there.
