My comment was out-of-line (i couldnt resist though!), so here is my Tip :) <tip type="Cross Browser CSS Alpha Transparency" Author="James Mclean"> Tired of writing a style that only generates your alpha-blending in IE, and not NS6/Mozilla? Try this stylesheet. div,DIV,layer { filter : alpha(Opacity=90); -moz-opacity: 0.9; } </tip>
