If Im understanding right - you need to use layers or one table and two cells in a row. Also tables are transparent by default.

sorry, i mean semi-transparent.. so you can read text better on top of the background

I would use CSS and Layers - it would be pretty str8 forward - just set the transparancy % you want.

opaque you mean?

do your color and transparency inside of photoshop, and use them as table backgrounds. Stack multiple tables inside of a single or dual table with your complete page diagrams laid out.

sounds right...and most efficient...

depends on if he wants strictly HTML?

for some reason its not working....

[munki]

If you are taking the straight HTML approach, no CSS, you won't be relying on .GIF transparecy... you will be "faking" it with your table arrangement.
