Transparent background -Watermark

spirit66 · May 18, 2004

Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to have a transparent background-as watermark .
For ex: I have a html page and want to have a caption "XYZ" as a transparent background .
Thanks!!

not sure I understand... a background is, as it says, a backbround and all other page content is "on top" of any background image you may be using. So, the need for a "transparent" background just doesn't make any sense.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Not sure if this is what you mean, but you could try:

Code:

<style>
body {
	background: url(watermark.gif) no-repeat center middle;
}
</style>
<body>
This is the body.. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
</body>

Hope this helps.

I guess i wasnt clear enough . I apologize for that . But I did figure it out though .All i wanted to was something opaque or transparent which can be achived using filters.

Code:

<style>
.opaque {
  	-moz-opacity: .5; /* moz requires fraction */
  	filter: alpha(opacity=50);
  }
 </style>

Thanks for your help!!!
