Transparency in images is something graphical designers have enjoyed for years but HTML design lacked this feature. W3C have published some specifications for it, but in my experience it wasn’t usefult since it was on CSS3 and, to the extent of my knowledge, support for it on major browsers was quirky at least.I was wrong, at least Firefox, IE and Opera already support it in a somewhat usable way. It came into my attention following closely the develop of techniques such as Lightbox.js and its descendants that make a dark shade appear over your viewport, similar to the Dashboard function in the recent versions of MacOS.
Now I found this explanation-tutorial at Mandarin Design, it shows some nifty uses fot this opacity property. I’ll be testing it very soon.
