This isn't /entirely/ true, as is alluded to in the link that Philippe has included in his reply. A strange combination of RGBA, IE's gradient filter and data:uri (or a png) will allow you to achieve a cross-browser, semi-to-fully-transparent background without causing the text inside the element to inherit the transparency. I've recently worked on a project very similar to one developed by Hedger Wang. You can see my work here: http://theholiergrail.com/sandbox/rgba-cross-browser.php and Hedger Wang's project here: http://www.hedgerwow.com/360/dhtml/rgba/demo.php I was unaware of Hedger's project during the time I was implementing a solution for a client who wanted exactly what you're asking for. If I'd known about his, I might have used it instead of working on one of my own, except that a cursory glance seems to indicate that his is slightly more complex. I haven't really had a chance to delve much more into his work on that page. In any event, I hope it helps. Let me know if you have any questions. --Bill -- /** * Bill Brown * TheHolierGrail.com & MacNimble.com * From dot concept...to dot com...since 1999. ***********************************************/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
