Hi Toby,
They're a little transparent anyway, the contrast of the background is too
low for it too be noticeable on most screens, but I could definitely up it a
bit, that's a good idea, cheers. Only problem I've found with the alpha
hack is that it renders links in an alpha'ed element unclickable; Dean
Edwards says:
To achieve these visual effects Explorer creates a supra layer on the
browser window. Now this is all guess-work of course but a noticeable affect
is, that if an element has a PNG background, then none of its child elements
will receive mouse events. Killing "hovers" and the like.
From http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/notes/#PNG
It's a real shit because rounded corner type stuff using css relies on
nesting elements, so if any of the parent elements use the hack none of
their children can contain a link. Solution? Use tables :( I actually
have a site which has both css for rounded corners and some alpha effects,
in the end I gave up and served IE a table layout and all the other browsers
the semantic version. All I can say is I hope the uptake of IE 7 is good.
I liked the form language thingy you posted a little while back, by the way.
Must have a proper play with it some time.
