| Is this something that can be done easily? I have a table over a photo quality background image and I need a semi transparent background. |

Some browsers support a "filter" for opacity, some support semi-transparent PNG's, but there is no universal way to do semi-transparent graphics in web pages. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

I've gotten the most consistent results by using a very faded .gif. Photoshop and paint shop make it rather easy to get a semi-transparent effect from a gif and it's supported by all browsers. Example at http://new2asp.com/Section_CSS/Img_O_U_Text/translucent_text_area.asp - http://new2asp.com/Section_CSS/Img_O_U_Text/translucent_text_area.asp ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |
