Can anyone tell me how i can acheive this effect. If you go to this site www.benmeadowcroft.com and scroll the page up and down, the tables or layers on the left are transparent and you can see the background image through it. My question is, how is this done? CSS, Javascript, HTML, etc....
Any help on this would be great. Thanks in advanced for any responces

it's done using CSS. You need to set the 'filter' settings in the class.
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
a {display: block; background-color: #334455; filter = "alpha
(opacity=50)"; }
</font id=code></pre id=code>
