Ok, some examples of how this could be used to have a bit of fun are at: http://c-mills.ctru.auckland.ac.nz/Transparent/ Again I say that it's not a big deal but does demonstrate some of the kind of things people could get up to where the print versus screen displays differ. I reiterate that for me I view and then print this using Galeon/1.2.6, Mozilla/5.0 or Netscape/7.0 under Linux. Windows doesn't exhibit the same defect but a different one where transparent appears black. Cheers... Clark
