Background visible through webpage

Hi

Can this be done in freeway ie. I can see the background through the webpage and it appears to scroll over it with a slight transparency.

Cheers

Anthony

Sure. Click once on the element you want to have partial transparency, click to the Style tab (second from left) in the Inspector, and set the main Background picker to Transparent. Then click on the Graphic Background segment title and click on the first square (solid background). Set this to a color, and then set the transparency slider below the color picker to a value. Experiment with these settings until you see what you want.

Thanks Walter, I can get that to work on graphic items but not a html box, am I missing something?

The key is to set the background color on your HTML object to None, then apply a Graphic Effects / Background to it. That gets you the option to set transparency on the background image on the box. This is all a whole lot better in CSS3, with rgba backgrounds, but until IE < 9 is a ghost, this is the way to go.

Thanks Walt. I’m so busy trying to apply new technology, it’s nice to learn
some old tricks as well.
