I believe the thing to which you are refering is the 'filter' attribute. The 'filter' attribute is NOT highly recommended by me. WHY?
Good question.
It is not even close to universally excepted. NN pre 6 definately doesn't understand it...NN6 does not either.
IE4+ does.
I don't think that any of the 'smaller' browsers do.
Anyway, the syntax is
filter: Filtertype (parameter=value, parameter2=value,...)
Filtertype2 (parameter=value, parameter2=value,...)....
There are lots of filters from which to choose, each with their own set of parameters.
alpha ()--sets transparency levels or transparency gradient across item
blur() --blurs the item. You can add the original item or not...and set the direction and strength
chroma()--sets a particular color transparent
flipH()--flips horizonally
flipV--flips vertically
many many many others...can't list them all.
