Answer 1

Don't test this with IETester. It's not completely reliable.

You should use a virtual machine, but you can quickly test a page with http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/.

After Googling a little, I might have been a little unfair to IETester (though I still don't trust it).

Known problems and limitations :

• CSS Filters are not working correctly in user mode : A solution is to launch IETester as admin user and CSS Filters will work.

Answer 2

You can try PIE - http://css3pie.com, that is working in IE6 too.

Answer 3

IE6 does not support the alpha channel for background images apart from in specific circumstances. There is no general fix, as there is for foreground images.
