Perhaps a better option would be for the overlay to use the same background (image or colour) as the page? The effect would be the same as having a page with only the loading message on it. For general issues with alpha transparency performance could you have a timeout (something low like 150ms) that uses an opaque overlay as a fallback if it is exceeded while applying alpha transparency? You would then not need to do browser/OS detection (there may be cases where alpha transparency is fine in FF/Linux). _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
