<div>
You can do it as part of the image, but you'd need to use an image editing package to add the overlay - something like Photoshop or Gimp.<br />
<br />
You could also probably do it with a server-side script such as PHP, but it's not the easiest.<br />

By far the easiest way is to overlay a div over an image. Is there a particular reason you don't want to do that?

Hi,

I'd like to add transparency to an image. You can see an example of what I want to achieve in the attached image.  

I know how to do this if I use a <div> and add the image as a background and apply rgba effect on it, but is it possible to get a similar effect with a usual image <img src---->"? If so how can I do it?

Transparancy on Image with css

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.
