Alpha Transparency

I never used alpha transparency filters, but I would try to override opacity style in the inner <DIV>:

<table background="img/home_bg.jpg" width="500" height="500">
     <tr>
          <td height="250" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="filter: alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity: 0.50;">
                   <div align="center" style="filter: alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity: 1.00;">alpha transparency applied</div>
          </td>
     </tr>
     <tr> <td height="250"><div align="center">no alpha transparency applied </div></td></tr>
</table>

you are applying the transparency to the whole table cell...you just want the background color of the table cell to use the filter?

I just posted this a couple of days ago - it may be what you need:

Man you're getting close there Cd&...
7 digits - just about right for your average Dino :-)

Glad we could help. Thanks for the A. :^)

Sean,

You always use three so I'm trying to get the average up. ;^)

Actually I was referring to your point total ;-)

Oh yeah that...  The result of many misspent hours... days... weeks.  It's gotten too easy.

I thought I left on of my trademark typos in a color value.

A million is nice but getting cert number 6 (web languages) is bigger.  There are fewer experts with 6 then there are million pointers.

nice job man.

I wonder if any of them is without a typo. ;^)

There is a slightly easier way ...

I have a cell (which is a TH) ...

<style>
.MaintTHError
      {
      border-style : none;
      border-color : #FF0000;
      background-color : #FF0000;
      filter : alpha(opacity='15');
      }
.MaintSPANErrorLabel
      {
      position: relative;
      left: 0px;
      top: 0px;
      text-align: center;
      }
</style>

<th class="MaintTHError"><span class="MaintSPANErrorLabel">Password</span></th>

That's it!

I use this to give the cell (which is a header for a row) a transaparent red background when there is an error in that row. The page background stills shows through and you do not need to worry about sizing anything. I've only tried it with a single line of text.

Hope this is of use to you all!

I think the reason this works is that positioned elements lose the filter. I think. Not sure. Also, not tested on anything other than IE6. Sorry.
