Yes you can ...

Put it online on a free host like freewebs ... it would be much easier to help you.

I try that as example not in real web site.
Source code goes like this:

HTML: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>fl0w</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--

html {
    background-color: #0099CC;
    background-image:url(poz.jpg);


-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

But page is simply EMPTY with white bg?

Hmmm ... tested this in FF, IE6 and Opera and it works.

It was a FF issue , i dont know why. I just reinstall ff and now its works.
But i have one more question:

HTML: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>fl0w</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--

html {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    background-image:url(poz.jpg);
    background-repeat:repeat-x
}
body {
    background-image: url(fak.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
}


-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

I put some html bg image and html bg color.
And i want to put body bg transparent image over html background ?
In IE work fine but FF and Opera not.

I will let someone else explain the joys of transparent png's and IE6.

If you want your transparent PNG's to work in IE 6 you will need to use a hack. I quite like this website: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pngtestfixed.htm.

Cheers,

Hmmm ... the fact that he's saying it works in IE and not in FF or Opera means its something else.

Again ... Please put this online so we can see what's going on since we are dealing with images here.

yeah, he is saying that the background transparency worked in IE, so there must be something wrong somewhere. It's weired tho, usually IE is making all the stupid problem...
