Warning warning! Using single-browser code!

Transparency is one area where the browsers have not quite all caught up
to the (available, standards-based) ways of doing things.

What effect are you trying to acheive? Describe in words, without
technical (i.e.[1] specific code) details. Then maybe someone here can
help you figure it out.

Not me though! I hate[2] transparency, and I think it creates more
problems than it is worth.

There are a number of ways to split this cat, but "filter:alpha()" is not
it, IMO.






[1]ha! no pun intended.
[2] Actually, I think transparency is really neat. I just think it has no
place in GUIs, menus, web pages, etc. It is okay as a transitional effect,
or as an artistic effect, though.
