KEN From: nhhockeypla...@hotmail.com To: users@tapestry.apache.org Subject: transparent text overlay on an image Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 02:49:47 -0500 Folks, Does anyone know how to overlay transparent text onto an image in T5 ? If there is a quick simple way to do this in a component I would sure like to know. For instance... say I am modeling a house photo on a page and I want to splash a yellow transparent overlay SOLD Best regards and thanks... KEN
