It's hard to answer because it's not really clear what you're doing. Now that you've mentioned it's an @Image derivative, I think I have a better handle.
Your Tapestry is going to translate into HTML. I can't tell if transparentText is a formal or informal parameter. If the former, then your component needs to render the attribute. If the latter, your component needs to allow informal parameters. If you're expecting an <img> with an attribute of transparentText, however, there's no guarantee that's going to work in any given browser. It's not an official attribute of the img tag: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.2 Tapestry will gladly push it through for you (check the source in your browser), but that doesn't mean that your browser's DOM will make it available. -- Kevin On 1/31/08 4:48 PM, in article [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Ken in nashua" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok, All I'm trying to do is plop transparent text on a @Image derivative > > So I tried this...
