Hi,
I was wondering if you could help me;

i was wondering how can I (if possible) have a normal background in a site but if i create a table in the middle of the page, have the same page background visible thru the table except the background visible from the table to be watermarked (e.g. look lighter, water effect etc) e.g. like how the new msn messenger 6.0 chat window is, the background in the center being alot lighter then the background around the chat window itself.

If this is for layout purposes, I don't recommend using tables. Learn to use CSS Positioning and it'll become much more complient with standards.

The other advantage is that you can use CSS to get just what you need. You can fiddle with the transparence with the "filter" class to achieve this, although I'm not entirely sure of the syntax. www.w3schools.com is probably the best site to learn CSS.

I agree with Corrosive.

Here's the info anyways.

If you want to do it the easiest way just set the background color of the table to the lighter version of the same color that you need.

For example if you have the body bgcolor set to #3e3e3e, you can set the table bgcolor to #cccccc.

Just add the style attribute to the table tag.

e.g.

<table style="background-color: #cccccc;">

However you should really do it like this.

in the head you should have
<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

Then have

<table class="c1" >

etc.

Use whatever colors you want.

If you don't know the hex values of the colors, just search google for html color wheel

If you want all tables to have the same background-color, you can use

table
{
background-color: #cccccc;
color: #000000;
}
