KyoNiwa 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 Is it possible to make transparent windows? Like ones that are translucent and you can see both the window and the one underneth it though the one on top? I thought I heard something about that and I thought it would be cool do like a ghost alert that flashed a few times with a mouse over... If you have info... It'd be appreciated thanks. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I think "KyoNiwa" is asking for tranparent frame on the web. Which he can use with mouse over functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently, Only Unix BSD and Linux support this... (plus any other OS's which use Xorg) you may have to wait anouther decode for MS windows to catch up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I heard something about that and I thought it would be cool do like a ghost alert that flashed a few times with a mouse over... If you have info... It'd be appreciated thanks. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To answer your question:There is only one way to make translucent things on the web, and that's by using 24bit PNGs as background. Works perfectly, as long as the browser of the person that comes on your site supports this. Browser support includes Opera & Firefox (Mozilla) but Internet Explorer does not support this. As IE is the most used browser, this is a huge letdown. There are, nevertheless, ways to get around this. And this is by using the invalid CSS filter (invented by microsoft against the rules of the W3C) to apply a DirectX filter which allows for PNG support. There are, nevertheless, issues with this, because, anything within that translucent window, becomes unclickable. So links inside it will not be clickable etc.. If you're interested, Dean Edwards' IE7 Patch, to bring Internet Explorer a bit up to standards, has all this included and it all does it automatically for you.

ChronicLoser 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 hmm, I'm really surprised no one mentioned this: the opacity filter in the div. Simply stick style="Filter: Alpha(Opacity=30)" into the div tag and everything inside it will be only 30% opacity. It's as easy as that. No programs or anything....just simple css coding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
