I\'m doing a website for a school project, and I\'m currently having a small problem... I can\'t make the body\'s background transparent without it also affecting the conten
I would agree with @evillinux, It would be best to make your background image semi transparent so it supports < ie8
The other suggestions of using another div are also a great option, and it's the way to go if you want to do this in css. For example if the site had such features as selecting your own background color. I would suggest using a filter for older IE. eg:
filter:Alpha(opacity=50)
Just include following in your code
<body background="C:\Users\Desktop\images.jpg">
if you want to specify the size and opacity you can use following
<p><img style="opacity:0.9;" src="C:\Users\Desktop\images.jpg" width="300" height="231" alt="Image" /></p>
