text and tables and opacity

[ThisCharmingMan]

Is there a way to have a half transparent table (or some other opacity) or an Iframe thats text wont get fuzzy? everytime i try to do this the font becomes unreadable. Is this my computer? Or is there a certain font you have to use?

Use a PNG image with alpha channel opacity as the background. This way, you also support Opera, AND, the text won't get unreadable.

will that be okay for everyone to be able to see? or will it make it take longer to download?

the download is swifty (unless you have a horrible unoptimized 800x800 pixel PNG). However, there is.. a problem.. with (drum roll)... Internet Explorer! Fortunately, there's also a workaround (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pngopacity/).

shmeh....theres probably not a simpler way is there? Im lazy and i dont feel like trying to figure all that out and make it work...or maybe its simple and i just didn't read enough...or i dont understand it. Thank you though...i may use that eventually.
