Translucency

[SK]

I'm looking for any type of translucency affect on ANYTHING that will work in at least IE 5.0, I'm working on a Mac at school, and http://www.barrysworld.com/hosting/default.asp looks great at home on my pc, but only in IE 5.5. Tables, layers, anything that can be translu-cenized would be great.

I didn't see anything maybe it was too translusent

He means the translucent menu thing at the top-right corner. Pretty cool effect IMO.

style.filter="alpha(opacity=80)";

Only works in IE 5.5+ and there's no way to do it on anything else.

Works on IE4+

IE 4.1+ I thought, anywayz... you get the idea.

Also another way of doing this is an old graphics trick, the same way windows does it.

Do every second pixel a colour, and indent one space each line. Leave the rest transparent. This creates the same effect used on the Windows 95+ Shut-Down screens.

It also works with all browsers using GIF graphics.

Neat - must test that out. Does it work on a picture or just single color/few colors backgrounds?

Best to make a layer and do it, it's also used on icons in windows... so judge for yourself. Go select an icon and see how it goes "blue". That's a blue one.

Enjoy :)
