Sample Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
  <meta charset=utf-8 />
  <title>Draw two intersecting rectangles, one of which has alpha transparency</title>
  </head>
  <body onload="draw();">
  <canvas id="canvas" width="150" height="150"></canvas>
  </body>
  </html>

JavaScript Code:

function draw() 
  {

      if (canvas.getContext)
      {
        var context = canvas.getContext("2d");

        context.fillStyle = "rgb(256,0,0)";
        context.fillRect (15, 10, 55, 50);
        
        context.fillStyle = "rgba(0, 0, 200, 0.6)";
        context.fillRect (35, 30, 55, 50);
