Making a cell transparent?

[Buddy]

I saw this website that has one cell transparent so the background photo can
be seen through it. The site appears to be designed in FrontPage--does
anybody know how to do this? http://www.premierproposals.com/
Thanks in advance,
Buddy

sure,
they're using a little CSS.
the file is here:

that cell which interests you is ".navcell" and the CSS code that controls
it is:

..navcell {
background-color: #E0DECC;
filter: alpha(opacity=80, style=0);
-moz-opacity:.80;
border: 1px solid #635951;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
font-weight: bold;
}


I've also seen a transparent effect done by using a .gif or .png image with
transparency and that's how I'd probably do it:

Thanks for your help. Now I need to learn CSS. Any tips for tutorials?

it's really not all that bad. the effect you want doesn't really require
much learning as it does emulation. ;-)
