robcrozier Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi,ok, Ive got two css layers set with z-index's'. I want to place a transparent image on the top layer so that some of the background image on the bottom layer can be seen through it. However, despite saving my images as transparent Gifs and them working when in the same layer, they loose their transparency when used on a higher layer. Does anyone know what i can do to make my top layer images appear transparent?Cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30131-image-transparency-between-layers-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

robcrozier Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 hi, thanks for your response. the problem with your solution is that it makes the entire layer transparent, not just the image. I just want the image to retain its transparency if possible.cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30131-image-transparency-between-layers-help/#findComment-138510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

robcrozier Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 yup tried that too - no joy. The image just appears washed out, as if its on a white background - probe the layer background, even if i set the layer to transparent is doesn't work!?????cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30131-image-transparency-between-layers-help/#findComment-138513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
