Firefox renders colors in .png differently than .gif
I just noticed that Firefox renders colors in .png differently than those in .gif? Wonder why that is?
I was just working on my new layout for this site and saved the background as a .png file. The background doesn't repeat vertically the background color shows through on the bottom. The colors matched fine in Safari with .png but in Firefox the bottom of the gradient didn't match the page's background color. I switched to a .gif and it works fine. Weird.

What’s .png?

another image file format similar to .gif. Stands for Portable Network Graphics, I think you can also embed other types of information in them besides graphics. It’s non-lossy, has a color table like gif but it’s not limited to 256 colors. It’s also newer than gif and doesn’t have any proprietary licensing issues for software makers like .jpg.
