I had a revelation tonight. CSS coders who are old hands at this will probably laugh and say “Pffft! Girl! I knew THAT ages ago!”
Be that as it may….it IS possible to teach an old dog new tricks!
For transparency effects in CSS - I use the following tag:
filter:alpha(opacity=80);
(where increasing the number will lower or raise amount of transparency effect)
It’s a great effect that I use regularly. However - it never works in Mozilla. Ever. Ever. Ever.
The problem has been solved with this tiny line of code:
-moz-opacity:0.5;
(where raising or lowering the number - it tops out at 1.0 - will raise or lower transparency effect)
Ok. Old news for some. New news for me. I feel like having a party. ![]()

I understand the transparency stuff, but the rest I don’t know about, however BRAVO!
I know in the coding that I’ve done and do that a revelation is a wonderful thing.

Here’s a neat Mozilla code that will give you rounded corners:
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px;
or for all four corners at once:
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
Check out my default stylesheet in Mozilla to see the effect.

I was wondering if anyone knows of strike codes that work in mozilla. You will know if you go to my website on IE then go it with Mozilla. I can’t get the strike code I have to work with Mozilla at all. Thanks
