Does anyone know how to make <object type="text/html"></object> transparent in IE?

I don't know if this will work:
But try giving it an outer div, and give that div all the opacity(includeing ie's: filter: alpha(opacity=..);

)
I don't know if it will work, but its work a try.

Thanks Nile, but that doesn't work.
I tried everything, including what you suggest, but without luck so far.

Can I see your page please?

Nile, I don't have a page for that. I'm just wondering why, for this code:

Code:

<div style="position:absolute;top:100px">shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through </div>
<object type="text/html" data="http://www.google.com" height="400px" width="400px"></object>

the 'shine through-text' does what it says in non-IE, but not in IE. In IE, it does not shine through. But I want it to.

This should do:

Code:

<div style="position:absolute;top:100px;">shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through shine through </div>
<object type="text/html" data="http://www.google.com" height="400px" width="400px" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50);opacity:0.5; -moz-opacity:0.5;"></object>

By the way: it is "translucent", not "transparent".

Magicyte, I do mean transparent (= clear: can be seen through), not translucent (= allow light to pass through diffusely).
Your code makes the 'shine through-text' itself transludent. It does not make the object (that loads Google) transparent in IE: nothing shines through the object.

Anyhow, thanks,

Well, actually, you can change the number from 50 to 00, 0.5 to 0.0, and 0.5 to 0.0. That WOULD MOST DEFINATELY work and help for u. it makes it completely see-through. INVISIBLE.
