Out of the box IE6 does not support the use of PNG 32 transparencies. While most of the time this is not a big deal, sometimes you really want, or need, to use images with a transparent background and neither PNG 8 nor gif will cut i.e. you just need more than a few hundred colours.
Thankfully for us Drupal users there's a jQuery plugin called pngFix that we can use to mop up IE6's inadequacies. However, it comes at a price. You can kiss goodbye to clean markup and somewhere along the line there's likely to be trouble.
This cropped up in the Drupal forums today, again, so I dug this bit of code out since I was messing about with recently. If you want to load a .js file only for the homepage there's a couple of ways of doing it.
Here in the first of our series on over riding theme function we attack theme_xml_icon.
As you will read on the Drupal API page the function has largely been superseded by theme_feed_icon. Therefore it makes sense to look at both and kill two birds with one stone. They're very similar with only minor differences in their respective output.
So to the code - first lest take a look at the default functions.
