opacity/transparency..

[Mackhacker]

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...centscroll.htm <--- Can i make the background of this newsbox transparent/translucent all the time and not just in the beginning of each textslide? I've tried style="filter:alpha(Opacity=80), but it didnt seem to work...
Best regards, Markus

Well, I only played around with one line for about 10 seconds. I changed the following:

else{
clearInterval(dropslide)
if (crossobj.filters)
crossobj.filters.alpha.opacity=20
......

That seems to keep it at the same level of 20 as the beginning of the textslides. BUT, the reason that the slides are brought to 100 opacity is to hide the the text from the previous slide -- it covers it up.

Perhaps others will have a solution for you.
