I believe the reason why is that you need to position the content. This link might help you out. http://www.domedia.org/oveklykken/css-transparency.php Michael -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL-REMOVED] [EMAIL-REMOVED]] On Behalf Of Marty Martin Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL-REMOVED] Subject: [css-d] opacity problem I have applied a 50% transparency using stylesheets to a table column as so: <td valign="top" style="background: url(#request.images#/featured.gif) no-repeat left bottom; filter:alpha(opacity=50);-moz-opacity:0.5;" nowrap> <div style="filter:alpha(opacity=100);-moz-opacity:1.0;"> Roanoke, VA <br> <b>$85,000.00 USD</b> </div> </td> The problem is, it is also applying transparent to my text which I don't want it to do. Originally I had the text in a <p> but I tried a <div> as shown above and tried to make the div not transparent, but am having no luck. Any suggestions? Basically, I don't want the text to be transparent at all... http://dev.tractorsource.com/index.cfm/fa/ads.choose -- Marty Martin ICN.NET (Icons, Inc.)
