Why if I put a png image with a transparent background in one place it works, while if I place the same image somewhere else it is shown with a light blue background?
This happens only with IE6.

IE6 does not handle png's with transparent backgrounds correctly. It's a known "feature".

IE6 is the worst web browser in history, and it is now dying. Support its death by not supporting IE6.

Unfortunately, last time I checked it's still about 40% of the corporate browser activity. Deliberately breaking a commercial site aimed at corporate customers in IE6 is just a bad idea ™.

Why not just use a gif. While it isn't as clear as a png it's support by all browsers
