I found a problem with your script. It seems that it did not always work for me in IE6. This was because I did not set height/width for each of my .png’s therefore the overlay image was only 1×1 and not showing up. I added a simple method to keep track of the height and width of png and should work on any dimension.

w = is[x].offsetWidth;
h = is[x].offsetHeight
is[x].src = “images/z.gif”;
is[x].width = w;
is[x].height = h;

PS. Thanks for the great script. I have tried many others and they have all failed.

The problem with this script is, of course, that it doesn’t work with PNG background images.

Hadn’t tried to save it, but that does make sense. Don’t think there is anything you can really do about that. But will ponder upon it.

great script. only 1 bug I see that I could use help with…

still seems to do it to all images (even JPG).
The other side effect is that the user can’t save/download the source image, since right clicking reveals the blank GIF overlay….
