Getting opacity on my layer but not my text

Discussion in 'CSS' started by LanceT, Jan 26, 2009.

    I need my layer to be at 50% opacity, but it makes my text & images also 50% opacity. Is there anyway to make my text and images 100% opacity while they are in a 50% opacity layer?

    Thanks for your help!

    Are you changing the opacity of a group or a layer? if you changing a layers opacity then you might have couple of layers mixed into one. If your changing a groups opacity just take out the layer you want at 50% and put it below the group.

    What's a layer? Are we talking about chickens? We must be because I looked all over the HTML and CSS documents and don't see one word mentioning this layer thing. And in all the years I've been doing web development, I've never run across it.

    If this is a question about CSS transparency, then calling a HTML block as layer is bit confusing in my opinion.... as it seems from the above 2 messages.

    Ah i see..... fault from my side as i see coz i never called the z-index and positioning things as 'layers', instead called then like 'one block on top of another' :)

    Well, that's what HE calls them. I, the W3C, and everyone I know, calls it the "stack". There once was a HTML element called <layer> and Dreamweaver calls positioned divs "layers" but, in HTML and CSS, there is no such thing.

    Conclusion: we're talking about chickens and this whole thread should be moved to "General Chat".
