Note to self:
To set the opacity of a div in a stylesheet, do this:
#wrapper {
width: 950px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url("images/wrapper.jpg") repeat-y;
text-align: left;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=88);
-moz-opacity:0.88;
The Microsoft Alpha Filter: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha being the secret ingredient.
And don't forget to ID the div in the HTML file, like this:
<div id="wrapper">



I love these little "notes to self". It lets me know that I am so totally in the woods wehn it comes to coding and customoizing and the like that I feel my money is well spent on someone who know what the heck all this means. :-)
