CSS class for transparency that all browsers support

Personally, one of my favorite in web designs are transparency. It gives life to your site as you will have layers of texts and images in one look.

It's great thing haa!! but did you know that having that in your site is a challenge for us programmers? That is because we have to consider all browsers to support transparency in one time setting.

Good thing..!! The class below will resolve the implementation of transparency for all browsers.

.transparency {
    opacity: 0.5;
    filter: alpha(opacity=50);
    -moz-opacity: 0.5;
    -khtml-opacity: 0.5;
}

Below are the CSS properties we used:
  • opacity: 0.5; - This is the current standard in CSS transparency settings. This will work in most versions of Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
  • filter: alpha(opacity=50); - This one is for our best friend IE.
  • -moz-opacity: 0.5; - This one you need for way too old version of Mozilla.
  • -khtml-opacity: 0.5; - This one you need for old Safari (1.x).

Leadership 101


  • Leadership demands sacrifices for the near-term to receive lasting benefits. the longer we wait to make sacrifices, the harder they become. Successful people make important decisions early in their life, then manage those decisions the rest of their lives.
  • Growth does not happen by chance. If you want to be sure to grow, you need a plan something strategic, specific, and scheduled. it's a discipline that would need incredible determination from us.
  • Success comes by going the extra mile, working the extra hours, and investing the extra time. The same is true for us. If we want to get to excel in any segment of life, a little extra effort can help. Our efforts can go a long way if we only work a little smarter, listen a little better, push a little harder, and persevere a little longer.
  • Making a difference in your work is not about productivity; it's about people. When you focus on others and connect with them, you can work together to accomplish great things.
  • Envision a goal you'd like to reach. Make it big enough to scare you a little. Now write down a plan for moving toward it. Create mini-goals within the big goal, to set yourself up for continual progress. And include some risks, too. Set yourself up for success.
  • Leaders build margins, not image. A leader may be forced to take unpopular stands for the good of the company. Popularity isn't bad, but decisions made solely on the basis of popular opinion can be devastating. So take courage and make the right though sometimes painful choices.
