How do I make a table transparent?
Hi guys!
I have fixed my Coranto and I want to make, the table in which you see the news items transparent so that an image behind it can be seen. What is the "HTML" code for this?
Thanks guys!

If you want the tables to not have backgrounds, don't set them. You have tables and cells with bgcolor set.

I got rid of the bit which you were talking about, I think but it is still the same. I want to keep the grey and the border around the outside.
This is the code:
<table border="0.5" bgcolor="#000000" width="395"><tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff">
<div style="background-color: #efefef"> <p><strong><Field: Subject></strong><br>
- Posted by <a href="mailto:<Field: UserField_Email>"><Field: User></a> on <Field: Date><br></div>
<Field: Text></p>
</tr></td>
</table></table> <br>

I want the Header of the news to have a grey background, with a black border and for the table where the news is posted to be transparent so that I can see an image in it with the text on top of it

That's not going to be possible if you use a table to create a border. Nested tables to create borders isn't a good approach anymore as there are better ways (CSS).
Set the table border in CSS, and remove the nested table, then you should have what you want.
table#thisone {
border: 2px solid black;
}
.newsheader {
background-color: #efefef;
}
HTML
<table id="thisone" width="395">
<tr>
<td>
<span class="newsheader"><strong><Field: Subject></strong><br>
- Posted by <a href="mailto:<Field: UserField_Email>">
<Field: User></a> on <Field: Date></span>
<p><Field: Text></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

no no no no... just put that CSS bit in your CSS file. And for pete's sake, please tell me that you know that when I say "thisone" I mean "whatever you choose to call it", right?
