Transparent text areas

[lilrobson]

Is there a way you can make a transparent text area? I know there's ways to change the colors.. so I'm guessing somehow you can make it transparent too. Does anyone know the code to do so?

background: transparent;

In theory should make it transparent, and seems to work in a Mozilla 1.2 nightly I am using, but I doubt it would work in IE.

<STYLE>
TEXTAREA {background:transparent}
</STYLE>

I have tested this, it puts transparent background for Textarea in IE and NS6+.

achha.....then what about the border that appears around textareas ? does it set the border as zero too ? or we need to explicitly set it 0 using style command ?

[Mihaela]

if you need to set the border 0 for textarea, you need to do this using css styles:
<STYLE>
TEXTAREA {
background:transparent;
border-width:0px;
}
</STYLE>

Also this works only for IE and NS6+.
