I'd like to have transparancy / translucency on webpages, that works with a 800 x 20 px gradient that fades. (gif or png) i have a feeling I could match the background and keep it a flat .jpg but... i like a challenge. (who's doing the halloween thing btw?)

Random thoughts: 1. A gradient opacity can't be done in GIF since pixels are either fully opaque or transparent, so some background matching would need to be done anyway. Plus you'll only have 256 colors to use. 2. PNG could do it, but browser support is iffy at best. This is a shame because the format had/has a lot to recommend it. If only M$ had put more effort into their support for it.

Correction lundqvist; IE Browser support is lousy!lol! You can add some code to the html with the PNG to enable IE to support the aplha transparency (though it uses activeX, so if the surfer has it turned off in IE, they won't see it.)
