Hi Joe, > placed an image in the opaque block and it is opaque - but I don't want it > to be. Is there a way to turn off the opacity of top image?
As Porter Glendinning replied to a similar post on css-discuss: "...the problem you're running up against is not one of inheritance. When you set the opacity of a container it effects everything that element contains. As far as any descendants of that container are concerned, 100% opaque now means whatever opacity was set on the container..." In fact, Porter goes on to outline the issue and suggests ways to overcome it at: http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/39758 -ben ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
