Transparent PNG as a Mask

It never worked if I tried that, pretty odd. The image seemed to have a higher precedence regardless of the z-index.

You'd want it to have precedence, surely? As you'd want the image to be on top of the "mask"?

Well the mask would need to be on top (using this technique). It's merely a border with a big transparent whole in the centre.

I've settled for a different technique now. Using the "mask" image as a background, and laying the other image on top. Then using the CSS3 radius-border properties to round the images to the right shape. IE users don't deserve round corners.

That's the technique I was trying to get you to use

Yeah, it's definitely a better technique.
