But because the AIL is a DirectX-processing, some links and mouseover effexts in front of the PNG, when used as background-image, won't work, because the AIL will put itself in front of the links (like in the DOM or surface, but not visually). A workaround for this is, to let the anchor or a surrounding element inside the element with the AIL-filter get the position:relative, or a different position (except static, I guess). This will again work. P.S.: AIL will not work with repeated background-mages, because the AIL-filter doesn't support repeating of images
