Transparent webpage backgrounds

[DaveC]

Using XtremePro

I applied a shading transparency to the background of my web page but it won't show up in preview. Is this just the way it is or am I doing something wrong.

I liked the effect but.... Is there a way to get this to work?

Hi Dave,

We really work better if you attach your file, stops all the guess work and get's to the heart of the matter much quicker.

Sorry about that. I had intended to attach the file. I think you'll see the effect I'm trying, subtle but present. Like the blue sky fading to lighter horizon.

Hope this works, first time I've tried it. Thanks for your interest.

Not sure what you did, but I tried re-making a rectangle and applied a linear transparency and it worked fine. I've attached it for you to look at. I'm guessing it has something to do with it being designated as an actual background so it fills the entire screen.

I think that's the problem. The filled-in rectangle works fine but not as a background. I find it odd but perhaps somebody knows how to do it.

Hi Dave,

A filled in rectangle can be your background but not with Transparency.

Create it as a linear fill from blue to a lighter blue or white.

Web browsers cannot use a transparent background.
