> I just want to make a div with css applied to it to get a background > colour appear at 50%. Any ideas?
What's happening is that everything has an opacity of 50%. You can't apply it to just the background, afaik, but you can fake it. Set the opacity to 50% on the parent, like you've got, and then reset the opacity to 100% on all the children. I believe that does the trick, but I haven't played with opacity in a while. ---Tim ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
