I made some Images for my site. they are pngs and have transparent backgrounds. In firefox they look ok, but in IE the backgrounds come up white instead of transparent.

Also I made a gif image with text scrolling across and that doesn’t move in IE.

Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it? Thanks, Matt 😏
