Of course, because only IE (Windows) can do nothing with png
so ... why to force other browsers to read IE's soup ?
By the fact, it seems your png have loosen their natural transparence
and, by chance, you see this transparence with your own equipment.
Will an other guy with IE 5.5 and Win98 see the same ?
Will an other fellow coming with Mozilla see the same ?
Actually I do not know anyone around here or in any company I have
visited
who is using something different from ie.
However, following your suggestion I have modified some code.
Can you tell me if now you can see transparency with the browsers
you use. Here is the new output:

repeating on each tag complete list of classes (for one alone word !)
You must understand I have to generate this automatically, from a
context
where the user can modify the appeareance of each single cell.
The user is enabled to write programs which can change the appearance
of
cell if certain conditions happen (these are "Alarms".)
Let me know if you have ideas on how to do that more elegantly.
To hide this I could remove all the CRLF (new line) so that the user
can't
really see what's going on.
Take in mind that here we are not doing an exercise of CSS style.
The goal is another. The User has a paper report which he likes and he
wants to get a web page with the same visual appearance. He does not
know
anything about CSS. He just want the result.
It can't create a styles sheet ?
Same problem as above.
What I could do is a preliminary filtering of all cell
and establish all the different styles. For each one I could
create a stylesheet.
This is annoying to code and will subtract a few millisecons to the
page generation and I don't know if the user (people in companies) can
really appreciate the difference. Let me know what you think about such
solution.
probably it is beter than to use Word to write html :-/
Here you are missing the point. Datatime is NOT a program to make CSS
or Html
it process data and makes reports. Html output is a just a feature.
Also don't be too purist. Word is just find for some million of people.
Have you taken a look at the code generated by Front page. I use it to
maintain
the pages of Datatime. The code it generates is ununderstandable and
perhaps much more crazy tha mine but still Front page does its job
wonderfully for me who I have to focus on other things (Writing
beautiful
..NET code) than writing beautiful html code..
At this moment we develop on Microsoft platform
If you want to make money ...

For sure, your product has good future as it is very simple to use and
you can develop pretty easily and fast a good report.
And these two aspects are the most vital when we are talking about
customers. As they need report yesterday and they do not have a
knowledge of developer.
And as I've seen that you are taking ideas and advises from others I
would like to participate.
With the knowledge and experience I have, I can certainly help you with
some ideas what customers need and what we as developers need as well.
Then also how to use data from OLAP cubes and so on...
30 lines without nothing clear neither concrete, of what is he speaking?
typical consulting talk
Here you are missing a big part of reality
I know any of Datatime capabilities
I did only see an html code not very clean or soft.
At least 10 screens scroll down to reach the tag of pie image
(exactly : image is at 14 983th line)
Help me make it clean (keeping in mind it is a translation from another
very very complex program)
Si, me ha multo gonfiato
e no sono solo si se guardara questa pagina.
No, it's realy because 15000 lines for a single html page is really too much.
Tidy tells me : ID have unauthorized names - i.e. ID=Cell1,2
I don't know why but FF found some cabalistic signs before doctype : 
Buiding an sql engine doesn't mean having a fine html exporter/editor/writer
If the problem is the number of lines I can remove the line feed. But
I guess you mean something else. Again help me to make it better...
OK, I did download Oracle client and Datatime
and now ?
(proposed DB from M$ is in an *.exe ... :-( )
It install the Northwind.mdb a well known sample database
If you can redownload Datatime, because in the meantime
I have done some correction in the code of the chart
generator, since some event handlers had been disconnected.
Thank you very much for you support abd help.
