I have a page [http://www.inertia1.com](http://www.inertia1.com) that has alot of transparent items. I set thier alpha values to zero. But when I looked at the page the transparent sections still show through.

It is only when your color settings for your windows display are at 16 bit. If I change my settings to anything better the transparent areas are completely see through just as they should be. But still I would like to find a way for it to be the same no matter what.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
