For the jquery people:

Here’s a plugin I produced (based on iFixPng) which fixes background-position completely (I didn’t find a case as of yet that it couldn’t handle) and does not require images to be visible when being fixed. Background repeat is ignored, as stretching is not an option most times.

Get it here:

@Datrio: Some things we can’t overcome. IE6 users should increasingly become used to the web moving on. It’s not like the vast majority of them can’t upgrade.

The only problem is that the browser is really, REALLY slow when it has to render 50 DIVs for background-repeat, giving each a transparent PNG.

Or, just convert your PNG to 8-bit transparency which works in all browsers and avoid these bulky, slow workarounds. Bonus – your images are smaller and load faster.

Supports background-repeat? FTA:

Limitations and known isses with the script

* Background repeat and position are largely unsupported, this is due to a limitation in the IE transparency filter. If your background is set to repeat, the PNG will stretch to fill the element, and if it’s ‘no-repeat’, the PNG will display once (untiled) pixel-for-pixel.
