Opera shows transparent my embeded players on my pages

HELLO from México! land of Tequila & Mezcal:

when going into la Perica & el Lobo group of mine, the embeded MP player (white, with colapsible playlist) in my WELCOME box, was ABSENT! Little investigation, and I noticed it was there, BUT UNDER the WHiTE BG, barely visible. It is one of two sites I have configured CSS with TRANSLUCENT BG, at 90%. So I went to my other translucent site JeanLoup Capricornio, with an embeded Goear player & the MP palyer in the WELCOME box; the same effect happens there too (2) on BOTH (2) players.

My guess is I am missing some CSS/HTML code for Opera to aknowledge those players on TOP of the BG, instead of placing them UNDER as default (well, thats my ignorant conclusion anyway). Does any SAVANTS & eGURUS in here have such CSS/HTML codes? The players are working well, but almost invisible their presence is. Like ghost players; but we are not in Halloween times! This does not happens with IE8 (no round corners here! STAY AWAY!) nor with FF (my favorite & default, so far).

I have both MP Player codes in a Notebook file, marked as "all files" and .HTML added to the file name. That way any browser opens my player to confirm codes are right, that the playlist is the one I want, etc. Great for listening to music too! Opera shows them solid in that "simple" way (Há! Anything SiMPLE about any CODES?).

Long time no see ...

You neglected to say which version of Opera you were using. If you're using Opera 12.00 Alpha, then there are known issues with transparent plug-ins.

I'm using version 11.62. Glad to see you 2! Abrazos!

I add some examples of how FireFox see my pages:


and how (the worst of all browsers in the World Wide Web !!) IE8 sees the same pages. My OS is W-XPsp3:


IE8 = NO shadows on text, NO round corners ...

Now I am feeling VERY VERY STUPiD !! I solved ... Opera has solved this situation I got myself into:
FiRST.- Thank You SEÑOR jjsl6, Opera software ambassador & moderator, for your comment in Chrome o Firefox?? forum. There he explains (in Spanish) for ignorants like "su seguro servidor" (me!), that;

SECOND.- one has to Right Click on any place of the problematic site/page, then a menu pops out. One Picks EDiT SiTE OPTiONS (editar opciones del sitio) and another menubox opens, with many tabs on top. One has to pick the the sixth TAB to the right, WEBs or NETs (redes) where you look for BROWSER iDENTiTY. There you have different choices: identify as Opera, as IE, as FF, or simulate IE or FF. Now Opera can see my sites correctly after simulating Firefox! NEVER NEVER would have ocurred to me such straight forward solution with no polution.

ABOVE ALL!- But I was glad to see you, Steve! Un Abrazo,Amigo!

... Well, this trick worked on this site but not on the other . So I still need HELP !! somebody !!

You show the "Identify as Firefox" setting, did you try the "Simular FIrefox" ("Mask as Firefox" on English systems)?

Yes I did, the whole 4 options to ID as Opera. NOT working on Jean Loup Capricorn. There is a diference in my custom CSS: la Perica site has a background opacity (.95) only, set with CSS, while the MP player is embeded with HTML codes by EDiTiNG the Welcome box itsself. Here the "identify as Firefox" worked dead center first time!

In JeanLoup site, I have opacity (.90) AND a BG image in my Welcome box, set with CSS; the players there - Goear is embeded EDiTiNG the Welcome box with HTML, while there is a chek-box to include the standard MP player with one playlist from my Music section (on that site). Here NONE of "identify as···" or "Mask as···" options make any change. For some reason not located by my ignorance, Opera puts those players UNDER that image in my CSS codes. (just a minute: my other obsolete PC with Opera is downstairs, I will screen-shot the site with no CSS image in Welcome Box viewed by Opera).

MMM ··· ir's not that image; the blue opacity .90 BG is covering both players still! I will eliminate that blue one and test again ··· now put the CSS image back ··· NO, no way: it is UNDER the image again! Only without ANY BG, those players Opera sees Another diference between la Perica & JeanLoup sites: (in Multiply, the custom CSS is added OVER a basic theme already installed) the base theme for la Perica is SKYLiNE, while the base theme for Jean Loup is BLUESY. One has Right Rail, the other has a LEFT Rail, among other diferences a´plenty.

Back to ZERO my friend! Ni modo ··· no point in screen-shooting such failures ···

Well, I reached a Compromise (another good one: for not saying FAiLURE):

I edited my CSS for Welcome box only, at opacity .50 (50%) and that way we can see the BG with iCON A5 flying over Wisconsin, while both Players are still visible enaugh & the Moon smiles there too (2). To my surprise now FF sees the page as Opera! IE8 sees Goear player translucently, while the MP player is solid.

Funny world, Phaedrus ···
