If you give a SECTION a transparent background color, it will show the background color of the parent element(s). So if you have this:

<body>   <--- background has image
   <div id="gradient">     <--- background is white
      <section id="grid1wrap">    <--- background is transparent

Then the SECTION will have no background and it will show the background color of #gradient….which is white. The background color of #gradient obscures the background image of the body.
