How do u make things on a webpage translucent?

Question

I have an IMVU webpage and I wanted to know how to make the tables/and all the pictures (everything) on the page to be partially see thru (translucent) and I was wondering how to do that (like change the opacity) to see the background partially through the tables.

Answer 1

Use CSS. An example:

.mytable {
border:1px solid black;
FONT-SIZE: xx-small;
FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
opacity:.40;}

Here is an intro: http://www.mandarindesign.com/opacitycolor.html

Answer 2

Do you have a sample of the page you want? I think the best way to do this is to play with the colors of the text and for the background picture, use an image editor to set the translucency to about 50%.
