On my forum I'm using the code below to make the forum semi transparent, is there a code I can use that will exclude the background of posts from being transparent? I want the background of the posts at full opacity 1.0 so it has a solid background with no transparency so the posts are easier to read.

thanks, I use phpbb3

Code:

body {
opacity:0.93;
filter:alpha(opacity=93);
}

This is one of the annoying things about opacity. All children of the element receive the same opacity.

The posts, being inside the body, will stay transparent. Setting the posts opacity will not change it.

I know, sucks.

You'd have to make a DIV covering the entire page, set its z-index to stack it at the bottom ,and then make that transparent.

to easy, default your CSS..
and start to your creation

OK thanks LG. Its not really bad as you can see the opacity is only at 0.93 and the posts are still very readable, but I wanted to just eliminate the opacity altogether in the posts. If I had it at 0.6 it would certainly be a problem and I'd have to remove the opacity code altogether.

I'll just leave it as is. thanks again LG.

@ ralqis You make no sense whatsoever.
