    Hi,

    I am working a website where I would like to have a semi-transparent png image in a div tiling over the top of the entire page.

    But I would also like text that is beneath the image to be visible.
    I have set up an (extremely ugly) test page showing what I would like to achieve here:

    http://darch.com.au/test

    and I was wondering if this was possible using javascript.

    any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    If the text is in some html element and got an id assigned to it then you can easily do it like this.

    

var text = document.getElementById('THEID').innerHTML;
    Code (markup):
    or similar.

    HOpe it helps
