CSS Transparency Settings for All Browsers

Transparency is one of those weird things that is treated completely differently in all browsers. To cover all your bases, you need four separate CSS statements. Fortunately they don’t interfere with each other really, so using them all every time you wish to add transparency is no big hassle and worry-free. Here they are, and are currently set to 50% transparency:

.transparent_class {
 filter:alpha(opacity=50);
 -moz-opacity:0.5;
 -khtml-opacity: 0.5;
 opacity: 0.5;
}

Here is what each of those CSS properties is for:

• opacity: 0.5; This is the “most important” one because it is the current standard in CSS. This will work in most versions of Firefox, Safari, and Opera. This would be all you need if all browsers supported current standards. Which, of course, they don’t.


• filter:alpha(opacity=50); This one you need for IE.


• -moz-opacity:0.5; You need this one to support way old school versions of the Mozilla browsers like Netscape Navigator.


• -khtml-opacity: 0.5; This is for way old versions of Safari (1.x) when the rendering engine it was using was still referred to as KTHML, as opposed to the current WebKit.

How to change the font color and background color of selected text using only css

You can easily change the background and the text color of the selected text using CSS properties defined below

::-moz-selection{
    background:#cc3333;
    color:#fff;
}

::selection {
    background:#cc3333;
    color:#fff;
}

All I did was use different selection color for paragraphs with different classes:

p.red::selection {
 background: #ffb7b7;
}
p.red::-moz-selection {
 background: #ffb7b7;
}
p.blue::selection {
 background: #a8d1ff;
}
p.blue::-moz-selection {
 background: #a8d1ff;
}
p.yellow::selection {
 background: #fff2a8;
}
p.yellow::-moz-selection {
 background: #fff2a8;
}

Adobe Illustrator Publisher's Description

True to its name, Adobe Illustrator began life as a standard-bearer for vector-based illustration and design, but fell behind the times because it lacked the Web output of competitors such as Macromedia Freehand. Eager to shed Illustrator's stodgy image as a print-only application, Adobe has taught this old dog many new tricks. Beginning with version 9, Illustrator has embraced the Web while continually adding new drawing tools and productivity features.
Illustrator 10.0 is geared toward achieving that ever-important balance between image size and quality. You can edit SVG (scalable vector graphics), slice and map your images, and make use of symbols for repeating graphics. This new version also delivers better layout tools, including snap-to grids, Smart Guides, and the Align palette.

Graphic artists will appreciate the mass of new creative tools, including warp effects; liquefy controls; arc, grid, and shape tools; editable drop shadows, glows, and other effects; and editable compound shapes. Timesaving technology such as data-driven graphics (which allows for scripted generation of design variations) should appeal to pragmatic developers.

Illustrator is not for everyone. As is typical for Adobe products, the system requirements and learning curve can be daunting, and strict limitations on the demo prevent saving, exporting, or printing. That said, this program offers features and functionality that can't be matched, and is a must-have for anyone who is serious about professional-quality digital illustration.
