Don't believe so. ;) If you look at the definition of "opacity" in the current draft, it is: Value: <alphavalue> <priority-index>? | inherit Where <priority-index> is defined as: An optional positive integer value or the keyword 'none'. The <priority-index> value indicates the priority for this element to make use of any hardware acceleration for its opacity effect. A priority of 'none' means the hardware opacity acceleration may be ignored for this element. Positive integer values are treated similarly to HTML's tabindex. Any hardware opacity acceleration capabilities are allocated in order of the elements with the lowest priority-index. It is this prose (which attempts to coerce user-agents into particular uses of hardware capabilities) that I was referring to in my original mail. Ian's response was that priority-index is being removed, which is great news from my point of view. No one is making the <alphavalue> part of the property go away, I would hope. ;) Boris -- If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage. But this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and none dare criticize it.
