I think I mis-wrote what i really have for markup.
lets try some ascii:
|-DIV WRAP gradient, 150px tall begins....--------------|
|---------margin and filler space--------------------------|
|---------h1, approx 18px line height, color:white;--------|
|---------gradient, 150px tall continues...-----------------|
|---------margin and filler space--------------------------|
|---------gradient ends ----------------------------------|
|-/DIV WRAP-------------------------------------------|
If I set the h1 to have a bg color, such as the #006 suggested to match
the dark blue, then it stands out and blocks the gradient.
Effectively, i need a transparent background on the h1 when images are
on, but a #006 when images are off.
Unless i'm misunderstanding your response?
Appreciate the feedback so far.
