: Are you willing to sacrifice functionality and cut of browsers all the way back to Mosaic, in order to use a better picture format?

A fairly simple solution is to use client side JavaScript to detect which browser is being used, and then output a suitable image. Psuedo code follows:

if browser 1 output image type 1
else if browser 2 output image type 2
else output image type 3

Of course this relies on the browser supporting and having JavaScript enabled - which is a whole other question altogether.

What is required is a short comprehensive list of what browsers/versions support what image types. Most support GIF/JPG, but which support PNG?
