Ok I thought I would write a Tutorial on this, Sence alot of people wonder what alpha filters are.
Welcome to CSS Alpha filter 101

The CSS Alpha filter gives a fading effect to text and images. There are 3 styles that you can apply to the alpha filter.

Style=1 will give the effect from the right-to-left
Style=2 will apply the effect from both left and right sides of the object.
Style=3 will fade around all the corners.

Play around with the code "style" and the "start and finish co-ordinates" in the css script and see what effects you can make. Of course you can change the font size and type to suit your page design.

If you insert css "style=1" into the applied Alpha filter. This well make it fade from right to left.

And the same again with "style=2" but it well fade from left and right sides of the object.


Css code for the Alpha filter in the text box below.
<span style="width: 357; height: 50; font-size: 36pt; font-family: Arial Black; color: blue; Filter: Alpha(Opacity=100, FinishOpacity=0, Style=1, StartX=0, StartY=0, FinishX=580, FinishY=0)">WHAT EVER YOU WANT GOES HERE</span>

This image has the "Style=2" Alpha filter applied, which gives a feather effect to the image without having to apply the effect in a graphic editor. Great for webpages and so easy to apply.

This image has the "Style=2" Alpha filter applied, which gives a feather effect to the image without having to apply the effect in a graphic editor.
