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

I think I understand what you're after TM, since I'm trying to do something similar: If alpha PNG is supported, insert a PNG using jQuery. Otherwise, do nothing.

The only solution I can think of is inserting a DIV using jQuery. Then, in the CSS you set the DIV's background-iamge to the PNG you want to use followed by a conditional comment to feed IE6 a transparent gif instead.

I haven't tried it out yet but it should do the trick.
