micah1701 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 you'll want to make a small, translucent image of some light-gray color. then, make it the background of a hidden div with a width and height of 100% and a z-index somewhere between your main content and your pop-up. when you un-hide the pop-up, unhide this div as well. there may be other methods, but this is what i've done in the past. Either way, you can't do this in PHP -- so mod's feel free to move this to another board.

Jessica Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Of course, IE6 does not support PNG, the only image file format which can make that sort of transparency. However, IE6 does support CSS transparency, IIRC. Google "lightbox" and you will see tons of pre made scripts to do what you want.

micah1701 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 good point about the PNG i remember now that most recently, i've used a 2 pixel gif where one pixel is a solid, light color (like #F3F3F3) and the other is completely transparent. this grays out the background nicely and makes it more like a screen door Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/69182-solved-dimming-the-background-when-div-is-visible/#findComment-347740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
