If only the alpha wasn't clipped to the range 0..1, then adding the rule #foo {opacity:1.25} could solve that problem, but I doubt if that change would ever be made. Still, even without a workable CSS only hack, I don't see the need for additional CSS opacity properties. There are plenty of image formats that include opacity in them, so I fail to see the need, especially since it will not reduce the amount of effort required anywhere in the process.Received on Sunday, 16 May 2004 17:00:05 GMT
