See Thru It

Dear bloggie,

Yea, I have seen thru the mystery of the see thru it background. The trick or rather keyword is "opacity"

Opacity is da magic word...

Opacity is a property in the CSS to make images transparent. Cool thing about it, is you can also make it partially transparent. A rather cool trick, won't ya agree?

The syntax by CSS standard is simple:

opacity: 0.4;

Unfortunately, as we all know there are these bunch of browser developer bozos/morons that dunno how to follow standards...

IE:
filter: alpha(opacity=40);

Old school Mozilla browser like Netscape:
-moz-opacity: 0.5;

Old Safari:
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;

Dog dammit! I ponder on why do we, Web Developers/Designers have to become innocent victims to this bloody "Browser Wars".
