Alpha channels control transparency. Why it's a big deal I have no idea....

An alpha channel is something white and nerdy.

Quote :
"In computer graphics, alpha compositing is the process of combining an image with a background to create the appearance of partial transparency. It is often useful to render image elements in separate passes, and then combine the resulting multiple 2D images into a single, final image in a process called compositing. For example, compositing is used extensively when combining computer rendered image elements with live footage.

In order to combine these image elements correctly, it is necessary to keep an associated matte for each element. This matte contains the coverage information — the shape of the geometry being drawn — making it possible to distinguish between parts of the image where the geometry was actually drawn and other parts of the image which are empty."

see how it doesn't have a white background, but has the background of this post?

that's an alpha channel

not really a big deal, but it's something that had bugged me in the past.

I understand what it does, but I still think you are a giant fag for caring that much. And for sticking it in other dudes butts.

I wonder if there's a portal that upon entering, enables you to be evan for fifteen minutes and then dumps you on the New Jersey turnpike.

haha, I use ff, I just used my ie to show everyone the supposed "proper" alpha channel...
...any "proper" alpha channel would render browser-independently, right?

^no, it depends on how the browser's graphics library implements alpha channels

IE fails on all accounts because it doesn't do hardly anything properly
