I personally find myself using this a lot, most for rollover graphics on CMS solutions so that the end user does not have to create and upload two different thumbnail images but can still have some kind of effect occuring when the button is highlighted.

The current best solutions for cross browser transparency for all browsers is simply to put the following code in your CSS style for the particular object:

filter:alpha(opacity=50);
-moz-opacity:0.5;
opacity: 0.5;

The filter option works for IE 6 and 7 and the moz-opacity setting is for early versions of firefox and the standard opacity setting is for everyone else.

I have created a new site for Patchouli fragrances, we currently now sell this wonderful French fragrance range here…. I have tried to break away from the usual online store layout with a more fresh scheme to match the quality of the scent.

I finally gave up on trying to homebrew a search engine for AABT and bought one of Interakt’s extensions, MX Site Search. Pretty handy but without the help of some guy called bmx269 it woulod have been next to useless.  He has come up with a nifty way to match the results from MX Sitesearch (which only really consist of three tables really) and then manipulate this to present all of the relevent information from a related table.  Took me all day to figure out but seems worth it.  Take a search on AABT and see for yourselves hopefully the search results are much more accurate than before..

Now to sort out a complicated postage calculation for the goods due to the new way that royal mail are responding to the impending fuel crisis (volumetric shipping is going to hurt a lot of online retailers)
