Hi, does any body know whether it is possible to use transparency in html.
What it is that i got rollover buttons using css style that on the 3 states other than hover there is no background but on rollover i want the background to be like 50% alpha white on flash.
Any body got any ideas, thanks in advance, Chris

oh, doesnt look as if i can use it on just text links which then defies the point of using css so that it loads quicker, think i may as well use rollover image as it doesnt look possible, thanks any way!
