If you don't set a "bgcolor" for a table, its row, or its cell, would it not be transparent just like that? And maybe including this property in the body tag: bgproperties="fixed"

I created this example... scroll the page to see the transparent table

this could end up being a lot of work, but what would be fantastic to have is some sort of visual CSS guide.  i imagine it showing the code for each CSS style with a small image below/beside it with some indicator (highlight, arrow, etc) as to what element this code has control of modifying. 
 
adjusting the look is not terribly complicated, and the trial and error can be fun when trying to figure out what does what, but the amount of time it takes can lead you to settling for a little less than you really wanted to achieve. 
 
i, for one, was not able to get the transparency i wanted in IE6, only IE7.  i was able to achieve transparency in IE6, but only including elements that i did not want to be transparent.  so, after two days, i gave up and just posted something on my forum recommending that users download IE7, FF, or Opera if they want to see the transparency. 
 
i don't know what percentage of people would have use for such a guide, but my feeling is that it would be appreciated by a lot of people, myself included.

Ali, any combined CSS styles in the CSS files can be separated, as I said to you the other day.

Ones that use the same values are only placed together to reduce bandwidth and file size.

If you have a look I posted a nice example for you so you could see what I mean.

thanks simkiss, I almost blew my skin away by taking off the table bg images from several places and colors. It did work and tables got transparent but also took away the tbl_borders, yet another thought for bruce I say, may be he seperates the two in next version :) aah well just a thought.]]> Sat, 21 Oct 2006 16:21:07 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/how-to-make-tables-transparent_topic21580_post115937.html#115937 <![CDATA[how to make tables transparent??? : It happened by accident, but I...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/how-to-make-tables-transparent_topic21580_post115870.html#115870 Author: simkiss

That link (http://www.mandarindesign.com/opacity.html) also addresses Opera.  I don't know about Safari.  I only program for IE6 and IE7 myself.  You'll need to find a Safari guide LOL
