Dynamically changing the background image applied with the DD_belatedPNG IE6 script

As with most web developers, the usage of PNGs within Internet Explorer 6 has always caused a headache, and whilst there are many JavaScript fixes out there, one of the best so far is DD_belatedPNG by Drew Diller.

Unlike most of the other IE6 PNG fix scripts out there, this one makes use of Microsoft’s implementation of VML instead of Microsoft’s AlphaImageLoader filter, as PNG images show up correctly in a VML fill element.

I have found this to be the best option out there at the moment for getting PNGs to work within IE6.

However, I recently found an issue with it, that granted, not many people will need to do, but I did and I also found a solution for it.
