Ok, I am a college student studying for webpage design, and am working on a website for class. However me and my instructor both are stumped on this one problem. I have a graphic as a background and its fixed. I am then wanting to place on top of that a table or box that would contain text. But that box I’m wanting to make it semi transparent so the graphic in the far background is still seen. (and I would prefer placeing these inside of div tags). We have created the semi transparent background in adobe photoshop and in fireworks, and the only time it ever worked was when we saved the background as a png file and opened it in the firefox browser. But of course Explorer does not recognize png files. jpg wont work because it doesnt recognize transparency. and for some reason gif wont work either. I am so confused. can anyone help?
ps- we are using dreamweaver 8 to build the site.
