Hi,

I would like to spice up my website by placing a photo image in the background. I would like to photo image somewhat visible be the containers. Is there a way to make an existing container transparent or Do you know of anyone who sells transparent containers?

Thanks

You can make a semi transparent container by adding

#"ContainerSelector"{

opacity: 0.5;

filter:alpha(opacity=50); /*for IE*/

}

But you should know that it will make everything in the container transparent including the text.

If you really want to do this right you should use two div's, one that's transparent and one that's not, exactly positioned on the same spot.

I want to this exactly, I wanna put an image as the background.Where would we go to this change? I went into site setting the Stylesheet editor and pasted this in there, pushed save stylesheet, then i clicked on update and nothing happen, did i miss something. Also do you have any examples on how we should structure the DIV's for the transparent background or skin or container.

Did you paste the exact code I posted in the stylesheet editor?

Because that wouldn't work, in the #"ContainerSelector" you should replace the "ContainerSelector" with the ID of the container you want to set the transparency for.

You can add this in the stylesheeteditor, or in the container's CSS file.

For the background-image you would have to add this either in the stylesheet editor or in the skin.css file of the skin.

body{
background-image: url(mybackground.gif);

}

Just like you would change the background-image of any other website.

Don't forget this background image should be in the same folder as the CSS file, or it will not be displayed.

No matter what I put into the stylesheet editor nothing changes on the site it stays exactly the same. I even copied the skin.css file from the DNN-Blue skin and made some changes ot it and nothing. What am I doing wrong? This is what I copied into Stylesheet editor: After saving style sheet and updating nothing happens.
