Why is my table transparent?

[amahmood]

I have a table with some links in each cell over another table with some other links. After a long time confusion about the strage behaviours of the links on the table I found out that my table is transparent!

is that natural or I have done something wrong?

How can I correct it?

I should say that I don't have any code relating to transparency and I would expect that no element should be transparent.

from the w3.org CSS2 "Colors and Backgrounds" (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html#background-properties):
Background properties are not inherited, but the parent box's background will shine through by default because of the initial 'transparent' value on 'background-color'.

what i understand of that article is that if the element has a background color it shouldn't be transparent.
I have put a color for my table but it is still transparent.

Hmmmmmmm....

Can you provide a link to the page?

Thanks for your offer.
that indirectly helped me. since my code is very long i created a limited page to show you but it worked OK. so now I know that the problem is somewhere else.

I hope I can find it or i will return here.
