I just finished a new site layout, and for the heck of it I used a 10X10 grey PNG with an alpha transparency of about 50% for the background of a DIV. I figured that in good browsers, you can see the background image through it, which looks neat, and in bad browsers with no alpha channel support, it just looks grey, which is fine too.
Tested it in all the standards: Safari under 10.4, latest safari under 10.3, Camino, Firefox, Opera, IE7,6,5, IE5 Mac, even iCab. No probs--either transparent, or flat grey (or nothing at all, in the case of IE5 Mac, which is ok too).
...except for the heck of it I downloaded a standalone Safari 1.0 from Multi-Safari to see how it would look to folks on 10.2, and the box displays with a MUCH darker transparent grey background, and the text has turned into black blocks. Can't read it unless you highlight the text, and it looks rather ugly.
Is anybody familiar with why Safari 1.0 might be doing this, and if there's a workaround?
Site is, the box is right there at the top of the page:

(Edit: Oh, and of course both the CSS and XHTML1.0 Transitional validate; it'd be strict if it weren't for the Google searchbox.)
