hiding headings and PNG transparency
I have just a couple of questions. I was looking over at CSS ZenGarden.com and was looking at their css layout. They all use background-color:transparent;…..why? is this to cover up for older browsers? Also..what technique are they using for image replacement for the headings? I looked through the css but had a hard time figuring it out. I am a few months new with css.
Final question…if I am using png transparency should I be using a hack for older browsers and if so what is the best practice for this?
thanks for your time.

#pageHeader h1 span {
display:none
}Personally, I prefer the “offleft” technique, because
display:nonewill make the text invisible to screen readers.They all use background-color:transparent;…..why? is this to cover up for older browsers?
The default value of the background-color property is transparent, so this is redundant. As far as I know this will not give you any problem in older web browsers.
