is a background-image and background-color combo out of the question?
You could set a background-image for the container element, no-repeat.
And have to image fade out to whatever your background-color needs to
be. Stick with a websafe color if you can - I'm seeing differences in
color between a background image and bgcolor - even though they are
specd at the same rgb. 

I found I couldn't use the alpha filter on any element except DIV and
the div needed to be positioned for it to work.? Is that right?
