I found a solution for most of my projects.

I'm using jQuery Fancybox plugin almost in every project. If you're using Fancybox and having "x items remaining" issue then here's the solution:

In fancybox's css file close to the end of the file there's a bunch of IE filters for semitransparent png's to load properly. Something like this:

.fancybox-ie6 #fancybox-close { background: transparent; 
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader
(src='fancybox/fancy_close.png', sizingMethod='scale'); }

As you can notice the path in the src attribute is wrong.

Just fix the paths for all filters (there's about 20 of them) and the problem will be solved!

I recommend to put a path relative to the root, like this:

.fancybox-ie6 #fancybox-close { background: transparent; 
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader
(src='/css/fancybox/fancy_close.png', sizingMethod='scale'); }
