I have designed my page using Firefox and it looks exactly as I would expect it to, colors consistent with my design using Photoshop. When I view the page in Internet Explorer, all the colors are changed. It looks as if everything has a slight gray layer over it making it look dreary and "gross." Even the background image looks very different, it is lighter and brown-ish. The transparency I applied doesn't have any effect (yes, I added the IE "filter" property for alpha-opacity). The CSS I have added (in addition to the existing myspace styles) is here:
i understand your frustration with the limitations on coloring it exactly the way you want to on the web! the problem comes in that most users browsing these websites would most probably be using IE, so it's always easier desinging for IE and then adding your add ons for FireFox via CSS.
you are also referencing opacity twice in your first CSS reference, which could be a problem, always try and limit it to only one reference in a table and adjust your image to what you really want.
Firefox has beaten out IE (thankfully) but there is still too large a demographic of IE users to just ignore. Opacity hasn't quite caught on as standard yet (I doubt anything will for IE) so the first definition is just for IE, the second for most other browsers. And I haven't had this problem designing other sites before, this is the first time I've seen something so blatantly broken by a specific browser.
