Is it possible to check for PNG support with jQuery.Support?

Question

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 P

Answer 1

I don't use Js for this sort of thing...

I use

.png24 {
  background-image: url(png24.png);
}

/* ie6 */
* html .png24 {
 background-image: url(non-png24.png);

}

jQuery have deprecated the browser checking in jQuery 1.3. I'm not sure when they will entirely remove it though.

I would highly recommend leaving this checking up to CSS and/or conditional stylesheets.

There is no way to in JS to check for the ability to support alpha transparency without checking browsers.
