But that’s news to me on being able to pass document.getElementById(‘blah’) to the jQuery context, seems like that could be useful. Do you have any idea whether it is better performance-wise to do that rather than $('blah').find('blah')? Nice catch Joseph – I had meant that to use a jQuery selector for that ID.

Sometimes I pick up another approach: I create a PNG32 alpha image for all browsers, and serve to IE6 a simple GIF+index transparency. This works, too. So it depends on the specific task at hand. There are a lot of ways to “trick” IE6 to support Alpha transparency in PNG files, but none of them is 100% bullet-proof. So I prefer to serve to IE6 normal PNGs or GIFs or JPGs. I think also that it’s time for IE6 users to make the switch. The fact that Fireworks can export PNGs in so smart a way is one of the reasons I enjoy this program so much in my daily design life.

Are you just trying to save the results (are are you talking about tests run from the online tool at http://www.webpagetest.org or from the browser plugin)? Depending on what you are trying to do there are several options. -Pat @arith – Could you be a bit more specific about printing all the reports to your laptop/desktop?

CLOSE file .... and when it asks to save changes ... press Don't Save. Otherwise when you're processing a batch of images, it's going to keep opening every one of them, which if you have a TON of images, it'll really slow down your photoshop. PLUS you'll have to manually close and press don't save on all those open files once it's done. I'm doing a batch of 1400 images. Without the close/don't save, I would be slowed to a crawl.
