i am trying to understand how you can do something like this site where the pictures show through the top menu. is this done through css ?
A:
Yes, it's a simple CSS attribute
Edit: someone has pointed out that they've made use of transparent images. However, if you look at their stylesheets, they have also used the opacity attribute, and using CSS is a much better way to do it. One line in a stylesheet vs however many transparent images saves you hosting space, bandwidth, and decreases page load time.

All three of the answers using the W3School link is wrong. It's most certainly *not* using the `opacity` property here`. Additionally, linking to *that* horrid site is a pretty bad idea regardless of whether or not the property in question here is correct

He asked how you could do something *like* this. And he got three answers referencing **the** standard method for doing it. If you don't like our link, make yourself useful and post a better one instead of complaining.

Yes, using the opacity property. For more info: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_image_transparency.asp
