transparent elements in a form?

Is there possible (using style sheets or similar) to make transparent a form element (such as textboxs, lists, ...) so the background image could be seen trought it?

Thanks in advance!

No.

errrrr - yes - in IE

in style sheet - try something like
TEXTAREA {
width:600;height:120;
font: 8pt Verdana;
background:white url(images/yourimages.gif);
margin:5px;
border:none;
overflow:scroll;
}

this will not work with all form elements - and will (as usual) not work in Netscape - but fine in IE 4&5 -
trap to avoid - you may need to do 2 style sheets 1 for NS 1 for IE and then do a bit of browser sniffing and doc.write the CSS dependant on the browser - I posted the textarea example as it gives the greatest problems in netscape - but you can use similar code for input , select etc
