I need transparency. Not transparent graphics (PNG’s come to mind), but transparent layout elements on the whole. If I could alpha blend the background of a <td> in Mozilla and IE, that would make me happy.
See, I drew this awesome silhouette revolutionary guy for KSCR to use as a background. But my content on the front page uses small nested tables (it was the only way out, really), and there’s no way to make them transparent. I can’t even fake a transparency well, because the size of the nested tables varies with the length of the content being pumped out of the database.
Hmm. #

I’m sure you know more about it than I do, but lately I’ve been reading a lot about using CSS to eliminate tables completely. Maybe that would work?

You can do Mozilla transparency w/ the -moz-opacity CSS property. IE has their own filter:alpha.
You *can* fake it with fix positioned BGs but IE’s box model is broken so it might not work. Check out Eric Meyer’s css/edge to see it in action: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/
