I just would like to know how to put Opacity in my table. What I mean is having a table thats pink or any color and having the background show through. Thats all thanks^_~

You mean have a pink background with the table, and also a background image showing up through the color?
If that's the case, I'm not sure it can be done. I've never seen it anyway. :p You'd have to probably change the color of the background image.

You could try putting a transparent image as the background of your table.. Unfortunately the only image format that handles transparency is PNG, and it's only partially supported by Internet Explorer. However, PNG is supported completely in Mozilla and Netscape.

You might also be able to accomplish what you're trying to do by using CSS. There's an excellent tutorial and demonstrations at <http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/>

Hope this helps!

Add the style part to your table code:


<table style="filter:alpha(opacity=70)">


You can change the opacity to whatever you want. The higher the number, the more transparent it is.

changing opacity will also change the text, so my guess it to just go into your PSP or photoshop and do this:

> open up image
> go to "layers"
> click "properties"
> change 'opacity' to a lower number
> click "ok"
> then go to layers > merge > merge all
> save your image as .gif

your done :) beside that, it's your site and most users use IE 5.5 and higher, and those do support .PNG's so why care about it? ;)
