Should round corners display OK in IE6 - using the new graphic effects?
The corners generated are PNG’s and causing the issue - but can they be output as gifs?

If you enable the IE compatibility mode for that page in the
Inspector, then they should be converted to something else. Note that
the layout will change to use a table to hold the corners in place,
due to IE6’s serious trouble with floats.

Made IE compatibility for that page? (page) have I missed a setting?
The rounded boxes are inline items so perhaps FW5 is overriding and not making the box into a table.
mmm… I’ll take a peek in XyleScope

Nope the HTML items have been converted to tables. - but with PNG’s.
Perhaps PNG corner images is the default FW5 option for doing this?

The IE fix should take care of the rest of the PNG issue, as long as
JavaScript is enabled in the accursed IE6. These are foreground
images, not background images, so it should Just Work™.

I’ve thought i’d double check in the IE6 box here, and FW5 corners are all transparent PNG’s and show up badly. Even checked the softpress site and the cornered boxes on the home page show up sort of urghh!
I did originally think that you had some sort of option that by choosing the foreground and background colours of the HTML box, so FW5 would decide if the corner pngs were transparent of not.
But it looks like the corners are all transparent png’s regardless so in IE6 show they have a grey section where background colour would normally show through.
Pity (I’ll have to build up div sections with a background gif images to get round this - a longer route)

How have you set your anti-alias
You may have to manually choose a suitable colour to AA to depending how your background is structured

Without a hack the PNG files won’t show up properly in IE6. If you’re wondering what hack it is it’s the Alpha Image hack and that within itself doesn’t work. I too wish you could set the corner background colors so they could still be PNG, just not transparent.
The only alternative, I’ve used, is to create a new graphic in FW, use the Fill Master action to fill the background color of the inside of the item you want rounded and then apply the Photo Frame action and change the effect to “None” and set the profile to “Bevel” and then check the “Separate Corner Radii” button and adjust it on a per edge basis. I’ve used this in a box-model as far as creating a top and bottom “cap” and got it to work in IE6/IE7. You can then set the background color of the graphic by selecting a color and then you’ll have rounded edges, they just won’t look as cool.
