Can I use .png files instead of .jpgs and .gifs for Web Help using RH9?

Can I use .png files instead of .jpgs and .gifs for Web Help using RH9, and will they appear as expected in all browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox)? Are there any conditions where .png files should not be used?

Regards,

Sharon

    Yes, you can use those formats in Rh9.

    "All" browsers - Who knows? The ones you cite should be fine unless you have resized the images within Rh. That does not mean they will not be OK, just that you need to check.

    I cannot think of any reason not to use PNGs. Can anyone else give a reason?

    Hi Sharon/Peter,

    The only issues I have had with the PNG format is with older versions of Internet Explorer - just be sure you are not supporting old version of IE. I've been bitten by a few EU countries using older versions of IE.
