how do you get a text box to NOT have a background. (no color or image) just a clear background so you can see the real image?

If you are wanting to see what is behind it type the code for a textbox background but where you would type #000000 or some other color code type, #yourbackgroundcolor, EXACTLY how I have it. I know that works on bottons.

Well, if I'm making a textarea I usually just type <form><textarea> blah blah blah </textarea></form> And it has no color whatsoever, just white background, black text, and a gray scroll bar. :)

I don't know how to add a background but I will figure out, if nobody else knows.

<textarea name="Subject of text area" wrap=physical rows=7 cols=46 style="border: 1 dotted #0f0f00; filter: chroma(color=#CCFF00); background: #CCFF00"></textarea>

set background color the same as chroma color, i would choose for something like lime since you don't see it anywayz ;)

if you don't want to use this b/coz of the chroma filter, then i would suggest using <div> codes, they are automatically transparent and look the same as textarea's:

<div style="height: #px; width: #px; overflow: auto">your text here</div>

and they also allow HTML etc.
