I am not sure what you mean by that.

..images at the bottom of http://mindprod.com/applet/masker.html and tell me what you see.

I see a page with a *lot* of PNG files!

Searching the source suggests the 'last two' are actually
<http://mindprod.com/image/seal/htmlvalidated.png>
<http://mindprod.com/image/seal/icra.png>
Both of which seem to be solid color PNG files.

OTOH, I suspect you are actually referring to..
<http://mindprod.com/image/stylesheet/totop.png>
<http://mindprod.com/image/stylesheet/home.png>
?

Both those images show a gray background in IE 6,
while the BG is transparent in FF3.

As an aside - I decided I'd leave it 'another couple
of years' before I started to use PNGs with transparency
in web pages. Perhaps by then, enough browsers will
display them properly to justify showing the rest of
the browser users potentially 'damaged' views.

..and perhaps even then I will write a 'transparent'
message in the image with words to the effect 'Your
browser is obsolete and broken. To view this page
properly, update your browser'.
