Transparent Tables, no CSS.

Is it possible to turn a table, transparent, without using CSS or Javascript.
I am using Multiply and they don't allow you to use CSS without a premium account.
Is there any way that one can use HTML or META HTTP

What code are you using now - are you applying a color to the tables?

I am not using any codes. The table is provided as is. It is with a solid color. Check it out right here. Click here.
It is almost like MySpace but, They don't let you use Javascript or CSS to customize your site. Only HTML.

And what table do you not want transparent? Can you edit the HTML and CSS codes on this webpage?

/* item contents area */
.itembox {
background: none;
background-color: #9ea9c4;
border-color: #495271;
color: #000000;

That is the CSS code. Now what I want to know is, is there any HTML or CSS code (preferablly CSS) that can turn the 'itembox' transparent and not the text.

If you need to know what I mean, click here and I will show you. It is the box where my Welcome message is. And also where the photos, music, links, video and notes boxes are. Multiply calls it itemboxes, but it's the equivalent to a table.

What color do you want the background? If you do not want it to have a background color, try:

I want a semi-transparent background color. But the text to be opaque while viewers can see my background, behind the box.

Contact the International Web Developers Network - they will have the proper CSS code

I know you said no CSS, but you wil need to use CSS, HTML won't cut it. I started this thread as well just in case - for others.
