Hi Ariel,
great idea, and with some additional tweaking it will work, as the
background image indeed has a gradient, so I need to apply it twice,
that's what I couldn't come up with by myself.
<div style="background: url(bg.png) transparent">
<div style="margin: 0px 3px 3px 3px; background: url(bg.png)
black; color:white">
<p>test</p>
</div>
</div>
This IS additional markup, but it will work - great. Thanks for
helping!
And thanks for excusing the abuse of this list...
