Making a field transparent via CSS

Classic Servoy
1

Here’s my CSS:

field.transparent
{
	// There seems to be no way to make a field transparent
	// using the "background-color" value.
	// background-color: none;
	margin: 1px 5px 1px 5px;
	font: 12pt "Arial";
	color: #333333;
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

The commented code is what I have in place of what I’m hoping is an easy fix. Is there a way to make a field transparent using CSS? I would think it would be tied to the background-color value.

Additionally, I can’t seem to get the regular Transparent checkbox in the Properties to work. Actually, it doesn’t work for me (Mac OS 10.5.1, Servoy v 3.5.2) but it DOES work for my co-worker (Mac OS 10.4.10, Servoy v 3.5.2). :roll:

No, as far as I know, you can’t set the transparancy by Servoy CSS.
this is a fixed property of the element (field or label) itself.

I don’t know if it’s a limitation in Java, or just not implemented in Servoy CSS yet. Maybe one the Servoy guys can comment on that.

Argh.

If I can’t do it in CSS, I’d like to figure out why my Transparent checkbox doesn’t work. It just seems to have no affect.

Is this possibly related to the version of Java I have installed? I don’t even know how to check that.

I think it has something to do with Leopard & java!
there are still a lot of issues with those.

OK, sounds good. I will assume that these things will eventually get fixed. One of the pains of adopting new technology I suppose.
