John, For those among us who dwell in the visual world, one picture is worth a thousand words... a click able link to your coded page would help. Transparency is determined by the code but it is dependent on the hue, saturation, value of the elements proper-- their z-index, the type of monitor used to view the page, ambient light when viewed... and god only knows what else. For what its worth this is a site in progress that uses various combinations of svg images, linear-gradients, and rgba-transparency in the header, navigation, sidebar, and footer: <http://ccstudi.com/> Best, David Laakso -- Chelsea Creek Studio http://ccstudi.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
