Hello,
I am wanting to achieve the following effect:

A div with a white background color with a 40% opacity.  This div is absolutely 
positioned over a picture so that that picture comes through the div because of 
its opacity setting.  This part works fine.

Then in that div I want to use a <p> tag with a background color of white.  
This is the part that is not working so well.  It appears that this background 
color is inheriting the opacity of the div it lives in as the white 
background-color seems to have no effect. I have even reset the opacity of this 
<p> by setting it to 100.

I'm sorry I can't provide a link, but here is my CSS  and code.  Hoping someone 
can set me straight.

div.skiptomain
{
       position:absolute;
       height:35px;
       width:145px;
       top:0;left:380px;
       border-bottom-left-radius:8px 8px;
       background-color:#fff;
       opacity:0.4;
       filter:alpha(opacity=40);

}
div.skiptomain  p
{

       font-weight:bold;
       background-color:#ffffff !important;
       opacity:1.0;
       filter:alpha(opacity=100);
}



<div class="skiptomain">
                     <p>Skip to main content</p>
                     </div>


Thank you!
