    Not too bright

    I think it's 'cause I'm off caffine at the moment, but for the life of me I can't remember how to have a transparent scrolling text field so that you can see the background image (without the background image tiling).

    I tried putting the graphic as the body background, but I can't stop it tiling. I then tried inline frames, but can't get them transparent. Then I tried to use CSS to set a textarea to transparent, but doesn't seem to work. I'm scratching me head, knowing I'm missing something obvious, but can't remember what it is....anybody care to enlighten me?

    Sorry, not scrolling in that sense....please, give me some credit.

    I mean scrolling in a textarea way. I have some content which needs to be inserted into the page in such a way as to allow a background image to be displayed beneath. The background image cannot scroll or tile, but the textual content must....

    Feckin' marquees indeed...
