CSS - Transparent Background With Opaque Text
I have a floating div on top of a larger div that has a background. What I would like is to have the background of the floating div transparent so the background can be seen. However, when I make it transparent, it forces my text to be transparent also.
Any ways around this? Similar TutorialsI'm having trouble positioning this opaque text. I woud like to use it as a centered background on every cell of my table. http://section31.us/temp/absolute.htm Can anyone help me out. To get this to work the way I want, do I have to use the z-index property as well? Here's the thing: I want to have a div, with 500px width and height, centered in the page with an opacity of 50%, for instance. Well, this is easy to do and it worked. Now, I need to have another div, like 200px width and height, inside the other one. That's also easy to do, now the catch: I don't want the second the div to inherit the opaque value from the parent div, I want it to have it's own transparency, which in this case would be 100% opaque. How can I do that? If possible at all... Hi, I'm trying to implement a confirm box that darkens the page until the user clicks ok. I've got a div the size of the whole page with a black background and opacity .2. Inside that there is a div with the confirmation text inside with opacity 1.0, but it is not showing up fully opaque. It was my understanding that opacity is not inherited, so I shouldn't even have to specify an opacity at all for the inner div. Why isn't it showing up as fully opaque? http://evenhealth.com/test.html The confirm box is exactly in the center of the page. It's pretty hard to see because of the opacity problem. Code: <html>
<head>
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="/main.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div id=confirmpage>
<div id=confirmdiv>
<div class=confirmbox>
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('confirmpage').style.display = 'none';return false">Close Me</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<a href=# onclick="document.getElementById('confirmpage').style.display = 'block';return false">Click me to test confirm box.</a>
</body>
</html>
Code: #confirmpage{
position:absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index:1;
width:100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #000;
filter:alpha(opacity=60);
opacity: 0.2;
display:none;
}
#confirmdiv{
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 1px;
overflow: visible;
display: block
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
opacity:1.0;
}
.confirmbox{
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
opacity:1.0;
margin-left: -125px;
position: absolute;
top: -35px;
left: 50%;
width: 250px;
height: 70px;
border: 1px solid red ;
}
yes my friend has on her site scrollable screen separate from the fixed background but in the code its listed <style type="text/css"> table, tr, td { background-color:transparent; border:none; border-width:0;} body { background-color:91A4F3; now what would the optional choice of turning the transparent off? opaque? Are there any workarounds to get a transparent png that is being used as a background-image to be affected by background-: position, attachment, or repeat. This site says it's not possible: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/tmp/a...ansparency.html But Im hoping that over time someone has come up with a fix ... Thanks, Mark Hello I have a background image in my web site which is centered and fixed with no repeat. I would like to make it some what transparent. I know that it can be done by manipulating the image itself, but I need to do it dynamically using CSS. I tried adding the filterpque(alpha=0.5 style=0) attribute to the body but that made all the elements in the body (except for background image) transparent. does anyone know how I can do it? Hi, I'm doing a simple one page layout for a friend which is just an iframe over a picture. The iframe can contain alot of data and the picture isn't supposed to repeat. So... I've got the background image fixed in place with the iframe positioned over it, and it looks fine in firefox and netscape, but the background of the iframe is white in IE. Nevermind, I figured it out... Thanks, Hope Hi, The page in question can be found he http://serve5.net/xcage/. Basically, if you view it in Firefox/Mozilla, the background png for the element that contains the date is transparent with a tint to it. However, if you view the page in Internet Explorer, it is gray rather than transparent. Could someone take a look and tell me what's wrong? The CSS can be found he http://serve5.net/xcage/css/standard.css. Thanks, Rob. Hello, Tried searching and couldn't find anything. I want my header's background to match that of the body. Essentially, a "see-through" header. Shouldn't this be some easy markup? Thanks. I have divs layering on top of each other, and they have background images (gifs). In Firefox, the transparency looks fine, but in IE the transparent areas are colored in. How can I fix this? thanks. I was wondering if there is a way to make your wrapper have a background color to make your font more readable but still be transparent so that you still can see the body background pic? Hopefully this doesn't sound like a stupid question. Is that possible? What would be the code for that? Hi everyone. developing a page where I use CSS style #content { width: 760px; background-image: url(didyouknow1.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #cccccc; height: 300px; } Page background is #cccccc. When I add the div tag <body> <div id="content">Content for id "content" Goes Here</div> </body> and preview in IE 6 there is a lighter color gray AROUND the image . Have not tested in FF. IMAGE Attached. Any suggestions how to make the tranparency really work? Looks fine in Dreamweaver8. Thanks Roman I want to make a css "div-popup", and when it pops up the whole page behind the popup should be covered in 50% transparent black. I suppose this has been done before, but I failed to google it, I don't know what to search for Any ideas? is there a way to set background color of a text box to transparent? I expected this to be working: 'background-color:transparent; hello mates, for the "footer" of my webpage, i need to have the left part holding a transparent gif image (can be background image or html object, don't care as long as it shows correctly the background image of the page), and the right part to extend to the rest of the containing "footer" div, with a background-color. But i can't make the two cohabitate peacefully. :'( i've tried with divs, span and p, no matter what it does not work. here is the way i first thought it would work: Code: <div id="footer" style="clear:both;width:100%">
<div id="transparentImg" style="width:460px;height:22px;background:url(image.gif) no-repeat"></div>
<div id="colorstripe" style="width:inherit;height:22px;background-color:red;text-align:right">disclaimer</div>
</div>
any idea how to make this happen ? Hey All! Hope i didnt scare tooo many people off with the title! Im new to playing around with transparency and am having trouble with getting the affect i want! What i want: 1. Page background as a large picture (1280 x 1024) non repeating etc. (The picture is of a grassey field) 2. a semi transparent rounded white box that sits in the middle (dimensions 735x 550) 3. on top of the semi transparent box i want my content. The reason i want it semi transparent is because i want the main background to come through and be visible through the content. and if the page is resized etc that the semi transparent box can move over the background and show the background whereever it is! Problems: 1. My first attempt i could get 90% of the look i wanted. I got the semi transparent box floating in the middle of the page and showing the background through perfectly. as soon as i add content the content is also transparent. i tried adjusting the trnasparency for the content but that didnt work. e.g. Code: <div id="semiTransBox"> <div id="content">blah blah blah</div> </div> note i dont have my actual code in front of me so please try and work with this! The wording "blah blah blah came out as transparent as its parent semiTransBox. Not what i wanted! I understand this is something to do with the parent child relationship with transparency so i tried something different for my second attempt: 2. i created the semi Transparent box and then added a second fully transparent div below which was positioned using css to move up 500px to fit over the semi transparent box. using top:-500px; position:relative e.g. Code: <div id="semiTransBox"></div> <div id="transBox"> <div id="content">blah blah blah</div> </div> The content is not transparent now but there is still a problem The problem is now because i have created the second div below the first it has caused the browser to add scroll bars to the window and shows white are where the main picture doesnt fill. is there a way to get rid of the space where the second div used to be? i really hope that essay made sense! thanks Hey All, It's been a while, and my CSS knowledge is a bit rusty (not that it was ever all that;-). Anyway... Working on a custom wordpress admin write panel, I have a table with dynamic classes in a helper.css for indicating row status(includes .myclass tr:hover), which works great everywhere EXCEPT in our old friend IE6. Turns out that the wordpress "global.css" for admin panels defines the following: Code:
html,body,div,span,applet,object,iframe,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,blockquote,pre,a,abbr,acronym,address,bi g,
cite,code,del,dfn,em,font,img,ins,kbd,q,s,samp,small,strike,strong,sub,sup,tt,var,b,u,i,center,dl,dt ,dd,
ol,ul,li,fieldset,form,label,legend,table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td
{ margin:0;padding:0;border:0;outline:0;background:transparent;}
where, though I can't remember how I stumbled onto it, upon removing "background:transparent;" in wp admins global.css everything is hunky dory in IE6 too -- ok, not the tr :hover{ because IE6 only supports :hover on <a>s. but at least the row classes are displayed with no other discernible impact on this or any other admin pages in IE6 or any other browser. Of course, I don't want to go changing wordpress core code just to scratch my little itch, but I was hoping someone might suggest a means of overriding the background:transparent in wp admins global.css either in my own helper.css or in the on the page itself? Hi everyone, I am using nivo slider for a website that I'm building. I have created a gradient png for the background of the captions that will go over the slider images. Everything is working perfectly in ie9 and FF, however in ie8 and 7 all I get is a big black block where the gradient should be. The strange thing is that if I set a background color, then the gradient shows through. I have tried to make the background transparent with no luck at all. I have tried to set the background-color to transparent, and made it !important. I've also tried to use filters, nothing seems to work. The URL of the site is http://www.backupstorage.co.za/new/ . If anyone out there can help, I really would be incredibly grateful! Hello, after a few hours I managed to identify the CSS element responsible for this problem. However so far I have no solution on how I could solve this problem. Basically the problem is very minor but still frustrating. I am using the following command to set a DIV element with transparent background; Code: filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient (gradientype=0,startColorstr='#60ff0000', endColorstr='#60ff0000'); The DIV element becomes transparent. However the parent element - which is set with the CSS attribute overflow:hidden - is always displaying an extra pixel on the right of the container. This might not be clear at first, which is why I attached the following screen shot. (the light red line is the extra 1px I am referring to) If I remove the transparency CSS attribute for IE8 then this extra 1px will disappear. However that means loosing the wanted transparency. I have also developed the following example of the problem; Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

width:600px;
margin: 0px auto;
/*

*/
*text-align: left;
}
div#a {
border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
border-top: 1px solid grey;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
}
div#a div#b {
overflow: hidden;
height: 280px;
position:relative;
}
div#a div#b div#c {
position: absolute;
}
div#a div#b div#c img {
border: none;
display: block;
}
div#a div#b div#e {
background-color: red;
color: #fff;
position:absolute;
padding: 20px 10px;
width:260px;
height: 240px;
margin-left: 500px;
/* IE8 hack for background colour with alpha value */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient
(gradientype=0,startColorstr='#60ff0000', endColorstr='#60ff0000');
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

Does anyone know what's causing the problem and how I can solve it. It is true that 1px might not sound much. But it still frustrates me knowing that it is there and the fact that on Firefox all works great. Is it possible to place transparent text on an image? I want to display an image of some text in a fancy typeface, but superimpose text in a plain style, so that it can be copied and pasted; a bit like what you see in some PDF files, where the page image is visiable, the overlying text is not. Or maybe the image can over the text, but the text needs to be copyable? Regards, Ian Tresman |
