how to make transparent input backgrounds?

anyone?

never mind, the css thing is:

background-color: transparent;

That's a cool setting.

What would you actually use this for?

Lots of neat stuff, but most importantly you can make the input box not interfere with what's behind it, background image or whatever.

So, like you could use that for the quick reply box message area if you had a background image that you want to show through in the box? Would it work even if the background image was stationary?

I'm pretty sure that you can.

I tried it and all I get it the same color in the message box and the reso of the box. Here is the code I used. Did I miss something?

<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1" style="COLOR: #4D0000 ; BACKGROUND-COLOR : transparent;">

I'm pretty sure its a CSS tag. You would have to assign the value in the CSS tag instead of the property of the tag.

How would you go about doing that with the code I have above? I know nothing about CSS tags (yet).
