Ah, OK.
I wasn't ignoring your reply, really--my Usenet provider didn't pick it up.
(Easy to blame it on someone else, eh? <s>)
Anyway, I just switched providers. This new one seems to be a little better.

I've worked around the issue by generating a solid-color image the same size
as the corner images, and repeating it across the background. For a solid
fill, that is--for a gradient fill it gets handled differently of course.

Good link, thanks. RTFM is always better than flying blind.

Nice accident :-)

Yes, I'll have a look.

That's the only way I can find to position the transparent PNGs when using
the AlphaImageLoader filter. Can you think of another?
It already has created a problem. On a browser text resize it stretches the
overall size of the layer(s), while the same resize doesn't do so on a
div--the text spills out past the div's edges. Again, the control only emits
table markup for <= IE6 gradient fill configurations, so that serves to
mitigate the problem somewhat.
Caching? How would that apply? Could you clarify?
