Widget background transparency problem - see my example

I recently put up a new web site that I built in iWeb and am having a problem with a form that I inserted into the home page as an html snippet. One layer contains a quotation bubble, and over it lays the form. It appears correctly in every browser I tested on Mac and Windows except for IE7 for Windows. In IE7 a white box appears behind the form. Anyone know how I can correct this? You can see examples at http://www.rathappy.com/problem/ . The web site itself is http://www.rathappy.com .

Thanks, I tried your fix this morning and was totally surprised when it didn't work. I was still getting a white box around the graphic. After messing with things for a while I finally gave up and put the form in a box, nixing the graphic. I made my box green and about the same size as the white one to cover it up. http://www.rathappy.com
Yes, web design can be frustrating at times. I'm from the world of Macs where things do what they're supposed to do 99% of the time, but the reality is that we have to build for the majority: Windows IE users.
Anyway, thanks again for trying to help me!

Making widget background transparent for use in a DPS article

Hello all
Am trying to make the background of a widget totally transparent. Is this possible.
I created an accordion widget in Muse, exported the page to HTML and then loaded that file into a web content overlay frame (thanks Bob for your assistance).
I made the background of both the accordion header and body copy no fill (along with the stroke).
But when loaded the HTML file into Indesign, I'm left with a white background.
Have searched the net for a solution, with an joy.
Anyone come across this problem/issue??
Thanks as ever.

Hi,
In Muse, You can also adjust the Opacity (Transparency) of the objects used in your site. Please refer to this screenshot :-

Calculator widget has wall paper background -- can't see open documents

Augh, yet another disappointment with Lion.
When I depress the center of my mouse to access the calcualtor, I cannot see the documents open on my desktop. With Snow Leopard and Tiger, I could see the documents, so I could actually input the figures I am trying to calculate. Now, some weird lego-type wall paper appears as the background. I see my widgets, but not the docs currently open. Duh!!!
Any work around?

When I depress the center of my mouse to access the calcualtor...
Huh? There's the Calculator app in /Applications and a calculator widget. With the widget it's hard to see the dimmed and enlarged windows anyhow. With the app, you should be able to se eal you currently open windows (unless somehow you enabled single application mode).
Now, some weird lego-type wall paper appears as the background. I see my widgets, but not the docs currently open. Duh!!!
Almost sounds like you enabled Exposé (press F9).
Here you mention widgets. So are you trying to use the calcualter widget or the calculator app. As I said widgets don't allow you to see the desktop except as a dimmed background and that is the way it has laways been, Tiger included.

Background Transparency?

Hi all,
I'm working on a game project just now and I'm trying to get
thought bubbles come out of characters' heads. I could do this via
code and drawing a circle at runtime, but I want to be able to
'tart it up' by creating proper nice bubbles using the normal
drawing tools in flash.
The problem I'm having though is that the stage is always
rectangular and I can't see how to make the background transparent.
Meaning that when I load my thoughtBubbles.swf into my main
movie clips, it comes in with ugly white corners and the whole
thing just looks daft!
Can anyone help me here? Surely this problem has to have been
solved a million times?
Cheers,
David

Setting image background transparent

I want to know how can I set the background of an existing images to transparent. I am a web desginer and currently i want's to change background color of one of my site http://twxdroid.com but here the problem arises that some of my used images background won't match up site background, so someone plz tell me how to change existing image background transparent. I heard about using magic wand selection tool or quick selection tool to make transparent but still can't figure out how to use them.

• if the Layer is a Background Layer change it to a regular one by double-clicking it
• make a Selection with whatever Selection Tool is appropriate
• if you selected the background use Select > Inverse to invert the Selection
• Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
• if further corrections are needed paint on the Layer Mask – black to hide, white to show the Layer’s content
• save the layered file as psd, psb or tif
• File > Save for Web … to save a copy a format that fits your needs (png-24 for example)

Making spry menu background transparent

Hello
I have made a spry menu and made the background transparent.
Works in Safari and Firefox on my mac but on a pc (IE) it is white.
How can I change this? (I'm fairly new at this) Thanks

Hello DrJeff08
I'm happy to report that I did manage to solve my problem,
perhaps if we're lucky we'll solve yours too. (This is my first
website with Dreamweaver and first time using CSS). I went to my
CSS panel in order to view all the rules I'd created, opened up the
Spry CSS rules and methodically checked all of the properties for
each of the rules. The very last entry on that style sheet was one
that I didn't create, called ul.menuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
(the "IE" that I see at the end of that name gave me a clue that it
relates to Internet Explorer) I noticed that the background was
white so I simply removed the white background. It must have been
automatically inserted as a default background color.
Hope it helps!

Widget background and align

http://208.68.104.129/northland/index.html
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the little white box to the right of my dropdown widget. I increased the width of this widget, changed lots about background colors etc, but once I got the ul li aligned by taking off the float left I got this little white box.
The widget is within the header which I keep sizing to try to get it too to align to the center, but it is still off.
Also: I can't get the fixed footer to align to the center. I have it auto for the 'container id' but nothing I try will make it align in browser preview, although it looks aligned in design view.
The widget code is with a <style> but the CSS is a separate file. [Index is presently outside of any template, but the rest of the pages are within a template], so index is the best to look at.

The .container validator error was one of the things I did know how to fix, but can you shed any additional light for me on:
"property webkit-border-bottom left-radius doesn't exist 10px 10px". (I typed this 'cause there is no copy and paste here)
Am I supposed to make it exist (what does it mean doesn't exist?) or can I just delete these? This particular error is associated with the drop down widget. I can see them listed in my properties for ul#navigation li a.
I think that means that it doesn't exist in the standard. It's not a part of CSS 2, it is a part of CSS 3. If the validator was checking your page against CSS 3 things might be different. As I understand it that's why you add different rules that look as though they are doing the right same thing. The browsers are still hedging their bets a bit in terms of what will end up being the correct syntax for the rule. So, again as I understand it, they won't validate until everything catches up.
firefly9999 wrote:
Parse Error DxImage Transform Miscrosoft.Alpha (opacity=70);
can you come again on what you were trying to tell me there. This is likely also associated with the widget.
I think that this one is a bit more technical but I think that I have read something about it. I reckon that this is something that is unique to Microsoft. Somehow, Microsoft took it upon itself to incorporate it's own code to do some fancy stuff. It did cause a bit of a hoo ha and I don#t think it has much to do with the CSS standards. Like I say, I've read stuff about it and I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I've largely ignored it because it was way over my head! My guess is that the parse error there is the extra colon in that particular line. As you know a single CSS rule is written as prpoerty-colon-value-semi-colon.
Like: color: #FFFFFF; or, width: 200px;
That problematic line has an extra colon in it and I wonder (but I'm not 100%) it that is causing the problem. Sometimes the validator will show several problems that are caused by a single error. These sorts of things make me wish I paid more attention at school!

PS: maybe what we both need is an expert to put us straight!

Making the background transparent in export from cinema 4d to AE CC

I'm using Cinema 4D to create a 3d object and then import it into AE CC. When I import it in, the grey grid in the background is visible. I want to make the background transparent, so that all you can see is the object in AE. How can I do this?

This is not a matter of transparency. You are seeing what you are seeing because you are looking at the draft software rendering result.
Choose Standard (Final) from the Renderer menu in the Cineware effect.

W3D background transparent D12

Hi guys,
have problems with Director 12 to make W3D background transparent on Mac.
W3D object in front of stage, picture in den background.
Disable DTS (Direct To Stage) in the property panel (3D-Model) and change Sprite ink into background transparent.
Works fine on D11.5 but NOT on D12!!!
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

Tested the same with D12 on Windows … worked!
Find next bug:
Exported very simple movie with D12 on Windows as projector.app for Mac.
App was prepared but didn't start!
The same procedure with D11.5 worked.
How can it be???

Cant get my head around a Transparency problem, help please ;-)

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could help? I am new'ish to Flash CS4 so hope I am missing something obvious.
Is it possible to make the background transparent in Flash CS4?
What I am doing;
Editing an image in Fireworks CS4 with a transparent background, the image has a drop shadow.
Exporting as PNG32 to keep transparency.
In Flash CS4; importing image into Flash but with a black screen as cant seem to make it transparent.
I have in Flash gone into 'Window Mode' and selected 'Transparent Windowless' option.
When I have created a very simple appear and hide animation I then export my movie.
When inserted into my webpage all is well and when published it is fine when viewed in Internet Explorer and Firefox but for some reason not in Safari.
In Safari the black box appears in the background so the transparency isn't working
Can this be sorted or should I just hope that no one will view the site using Safari?
Many thanks in advance. P

Hi Rothrock,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I am sure I have the code right as I have looked at a number of forums with this problem. I have inserted as an image the code just incase you have any words of wisdom, cant seem to cut and paste text on this thing!!!! ;-)
I don't use Photoshop I use Fireworks and what I am now doing is creating my images in FW the cut and pasting into Flash. After I have finished I ensure 'window mode' is set to 'transparent windowless', publish and then export the swf.
I then insert this into my webpage.
What is puzzling is that it works fine in Firefox but not Safari. As said earlier wish I hadn't recently downloaded Safari as I always thought if a page worked in Firefox it would work in all recent browsers.
*sigh*

Problem seeing images using Firefox

I have a problem seeing images when using Firefox. I can see them at first, but when i scroll down they dissappear until I get to a certain point on the screen (like when the images are at the top of the firefox screen) then I can see them. Was wondering if anyone knew what the problem could be?

from the system details you've submitted it appears that you have the foxit reader pdf plugin on your system - it's known to cause problems with hotmail since firefox 12. disable it in firefox > addons > plugins until there's an update by foxit which fixes the issue

How do I cut out imported objects and make background transparent?

Illustrator CS3.
I have embedded a jpeg picture which I need to cut out and make the background transparent. How do I do this? An opacity mask? How do I create a mask the same shape as the object I need to cut out? The object needs central pieces cut out too. Please help!

Opacity mask of clipping path are the two ways to do this in Illustrator. Photoshop is the ideal program for this task.

Transparency problems when I distort Pdf image size (ie: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix

I sometimes have transparency problems when I distort PDF image size (i.e.: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix. Or at least be able to preflight and know I have an issue.

Mostly I have seen borders and drop shadows that will just go away or other wise not print right but only when I distort the image and only on very complicated large PDF images. When I print it at same % both horz and vert. this problem goes away.

Having problem seeing "notes"

I am having a problem seeing the notes I put on my Nano. I am composing and saving in TextEdit, but have been unable to save files in .txt, as specified in the Nano manual. When I did save using .txt, I got a warning saying I would also have to use .rtf. The files are saving, but I can't actually see their contents.
On my Nano, "enable disc use" is greyed out, but checked. The online documentation says this is O.K. and means the Nano disc is enabled.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I really think the notes capability is a great feature. I want to use it.
Thanks!

That means that you are using fonts, formatting, and/or other features that are not part of *'plain text'*, TextEdit then advises to save as rtf. Just get rid of anything that is not text, and save it like the manual says.
