Wmode transparent

[buckcee]

umm.. I gotta question for all the jedis out there...
When you create a website, you optimize it for both IE and FF, right?
I was going to use transparent for my website, but I found out transparent doesn't work with FF? Ouch!
I have frontpage (level1) -> when you press the enter button -> (level2) this is the main website. The size of the stage is about 770*580.
So how could I achieve the smooth background sync by using same jpeg in the
html (css) and under the stage? Just wondering, I thought this was a bit tricky. If you have any knowledge, please drop a line. Thank you.

I wasn't sure where to put this message, if I posted in wrong section please move it. Gracias.

I'm not really getting it... What kind of transparency are you talking about? (I know that FF supports png transparency well but IE doesn't) :-/

and I think this should go into the client side forum..

[buckcee]

oops, I mean Netscape...

Hey thanks Syko, I wasn't talking about png transparency, just general transparency to discard the background of the stage. So only netscape won't work with this right?
I guess I should just go ahead and do what I intended to do. :)

sounds like you're talking about flash. to answer your question, wmode transparent works in both ff and IE. i'm not sure about netscape. if you're worried about netscape, one solution is to use not center your website. you could then use a fixed left margin to help align the backgrounds.

another option is to use a browser detection script to direct netscape users to a different page than ff and IE.

Who uses what browsers?

2005 IE 6 IE 5 O 7/8 Ffox Moz NN 4 NN 7
April 62.3% 3.4% 1.9% 23.9% 3.5% 0.2% 0.9%

IE 5+ 65.7%
Mozilla 27.4%
Netscape: 1.1%

IE 5+ and Mozilla 93.1%
Don't bother with Netscape. There are many things that it won't support.

hey, I just checked with firefox. It doesn't support wmode="transparent"?!?!
And then I checked macromedia website, they say mozilla FF 1.0 + will support wmode="transparent"... Can somebody tell me why this doesn't work?

Ok, I figured out. It was a syntax problem. I had to put slash at the end of each param. FF is a bit more strict than IE.. anyhow thanks ya'll.
