Ah, I completely forgot about translucent images. Yeah, I havn’t been able to get a gif to be translucent, but there might be a way
Either way PNG is still the best for transperancy and translucent images, never said it wasn’t ;]

True, but can you have translucent images as gifs? I thought gifs have either color or transparency… not partially transparent color.

Hey, I’ve been working with PNG’s and GIF’s for some time, and there is an alternative to PNG quality transperancy.

Make the PNG an animated .GIF, animated GIF’s are 32bit, so it has the same quality, but it isn’t effected by the alpha support problem in IE and IE based applications.

I have no idea what any of the above was talking about. Just wanted to use some big words of my own so people can think I’m smart too. I dont really know what they mean, so I cant really use them in a sentence, but the following are big words I know, which may or may not be spelled correctly: anomotpeia, antidisestablishmentarianism, cryptozoology, poignant, plethora, and elastodin.

Thanks for all the info! = )

The only way I could think of was using php commands (remember that php commands wonâ€™t work in stylesheets, so youâ€™ll have to convert it to inline styling, demonstrated above)â€¦

Actually you can use php in stylesheets, you just need to change the name (or mess with apache) to end in .php and make sure when you link to it in your head. Fun stuff!
