Use CSS to create transparent elements
Transparency effect can be easily achieved using CSS.
IE compatible code is: filter:alpha(opacity=75);
To change the level of transparency set the opacity level to 0 (100% transparent) to 100 ( 0% transparent).
Mozilla code: -moz-opacity:0.7; opacity: 0.7;
For mozilla browsers we use decimal numbers to change the opacity, with 0 being 100% transparent.
Here is sample class that can be applied to any element (img, div, span, p, etc.):
.trans{
filter:alpha(opacity=75);
-moz-opacity:0.7;
opacity: 0.7;
}
Try using this with a:hover and images to create some nice looking rollover effects.
