PNG-24 on Windows IE

JavaScript to make IE on Windows allow alpha transparency in PNG images (24bit PNG with 8bit of transparency).

<!--[if gte IE 5.5000]>
<script language="JavaScript">
function correctPNG() // correctly handle PNG transparency in Win IE 5.5 or higher.
   {
   for(var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++)
      {
   var img = document.images[i]
   var imgName = img.src.toUpperCase()
   if (imgName.substring(imgName.length-3, imgName.length) == "PNG")
      {
   var imgID = (img.id) ? "id='" + img.id + "' " : ""
   var imgClass = (img.className) ? "class='" + img.className + "' " : ""
   var imgTitle = (img.title) ? "title='" + img.title + "' " : "title='" + img.alt + "' "
   var imgStyle = "display:inline-block;" + img.style.cssText
   if (img.align == "left") imgStyle = "float:left;" + imgStyle
   if (img.align == "right") imgStyle = "float:right;" + imgStyle
   if (img.parentElement.href) imgStyle = "cursor:hand;" + imgStyle
   var strNewHTML = "<span " + imgID + imgClass + imgTitle
   + " style=\"" + "width:" + img.width + "px; height:" + img.height + "px;" + imgStyle + ";"
      + "filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader"
   + "(src=\'" + img.src + "\', sizingMethod='scale');\"></span>"
   img.outerHTML = strNewHTML
   i = i-1
      }
      }
   }
window.attachEvent("onload", correctPNG);
