This property sets the background image of an element. When setting a background image, authors should also specify a background color that will be used when the image is unavailable. When the image is available, it is rendered on top of the background color. (Thus, the color is visible in the transparent parts of the image).

Values for this property are either <uri>, to specify the image, or 'none', when no image is used.

If a background image is specified, this property specifies whether the image is repeated (tiled), and how. All tiling covers the content and padding areas of a box. A value of 'repeat' means that the image is repeated both horizontally and vertically. The 'repeat-x' ('repeat-y') value makes the image repeat horizontally (vertically), to create a single band of images from one side to the other. With a value of 'no-repeat', the image is not repeated.:

*repeat

**The image is repeated both horizontally and vertically.
 
−
*repeat-x
 
−
**The image is repeated horizontally only.  
 
−
*repeat-y
 
−
**The image is repeated vertically only.
 
−
*no-repeat
 
−
**The image is not repeated: only one copy of the image is drawn.

This document is a work in progress and is subject to change.

Summary

  • Firefox allows you to use coding to manipulate the opacity of an image.
  • "Opacity" refers to transparency; the lesser the opacity of an image, the more transparent it is.


Initial Value:1(opaque)
Applies toall elements
Inherited:No

Syntax

Opacity:1.0 shows you all of the image; Without any filters applied the opacity of an image is 1.0 (fully opaque).

We use CSS to define the initial degree of opacity in Firefox: 

<IMG style="-moz-opacity:0.5" src="test.gif">

Valid range of values for -moz.opacity is from 0 to 1, where lesser equates to more transparency.

Usage

  • Quick opacity change onMouseover:
<IMG style="-moz-opacity:0.6" src="alta.gif" onMouseover="this.style.MozOpacity=1" onMouseout="this.style.MozOpacity=0.6">
  • For CSS opacity to work in the browser it must have some placement specified. Mozilla recommends that we use float:left; and position:relative; to work in Mozilla Firefox. The opacity code for simply displaying an image is more straightforward.
<span style="float:left;filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;"><img src="v90.gif" width="50" height="50"></span>

Fun with -moz-opacity

To make your page more attractive, you can do something like this:

Fun stuff.png 

<div style="color:black;width:150px;background:white;filter:alpha(opacity=50);-moz-opacity:.50;
opacity:.50;float:right;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:10px;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,Georgia;font-size: 28px;line-height:26px;  text-align: right;">
...this will look like some of the  
<b>pullquotes or subtitles we see</b>
in 
<span style="width:150px;padding-bottom:10px;float:right;text-align:left;color:black;background:white;
filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;">magazine<b>layout...</b></span> 
</div>
