Hi Jon. Now you are talking. Yes, there could well be a need. We already have text and graphics which are overlaid over a background color or texture/image. Transparency is the obvious next step - real variable translarency, not some on-off hack. Not in 3.2, obviously, or even necessarily in the HTML DTD, but HTML documents might well benefit from an alpha plane. -- Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 (0)4 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
