transparent background possible?

[alexi]

Hi Ruth

I see this is your domain. I am a Milonic newbie but have gotten pretty far and so far so good. I have a question after reading everything I could find on your site:

The web site I am working on at the moment is XHTML/CSS and I have used a <div> with CSS background using a very small gradient menu background graphic (e.g.)
- background-image: url(../images/menu_1.gif);
- background-repeat: repeat-x;
- width:800px;
- height:27px;
- width: 100%;

I have overlaid the Milonic menu (white type across this 27px tall graphic using - screenposition="center" - but do not see a way to make the background color or background "transparent" so only the type displays and not any background or colors. I've read everything but do not see a reference to transparency. Can you point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

Alex Irving

Hi,

Did you find your solution? You can make any of the 'colors' transparent by using property="transparent"; or by using property=""; if transparent doesn't work. IF you are using a bgimage, of course, setting transparent to the bgcolors doesn't change that, the image will still show.

Thank you very much. Tons of things to read. I will sort through and then play. If I don't come back whining <g> I have solved my problem (or rather you have).

Thanks
