IE8's rendering of transparent pngs is FUBARed on my site

Question

I just downloaded the IE8 full release so I could test a site I just created. [Example Deleted]

Focus on the left sidebar background image. It is suppose to be a 1x1 se

Answer 1

The problem was my original png was 1×1, and for whatever reason IE8 was not liking trying to tile that and handle the alpha transparency at the same time. When I accidentally saved that image with a much larger copy I had on my clipboard, 100×100, it ended up fixing whatever problem Internet Explorer was having with processing the png’s transparency.
