Hi everyone,
Need some help. Have tried a few things to do what I want.

I want to have a strong background image, but want to run some text over the image. To read the text it needs to be on a slightly transparent background that scrolls. I'm stuck.

I want it to be similar to this link www.myspace.com/marciakinggamble
where the text rolls over a static image

or

the text is on another (for better word) layer that I can put over the background image, even if the background image duplicates multiple times.

I've used a variety of transparent backgrounds but I cannot show it as transparent. It get's solid not like the link.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
I took a quick look at that url, using the developer tools in FF, I can see that there is a background image there and then a table laid over, with most of the backgrounds set to transparent using CSS. I think your best bet is to examine it in the same way and pick the code apart to see exactly how it was done.

try these too

this looks like exactly what you are looking for . . . meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/complexspiral/demo.html <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks Alan, That helps some. I don't know CSS that much, but have programmed (years ago) so I can understand some of it.

I still cannot seem to get the color opaque like Eric's demo page. The information to lock a background was very helpful. Can you narrow down the way to make the foreground layer's background to be colored but semi transparent?

Thanks
Steve
