[jQuery] Re: Opacity for a menu background, but not for the element inside

2008-12-12 Thread Jim D

You can use the CSS 'opacity' property.  It accepts a value between
0.0 and 1.0.  For example, if you wanted to set the opacity of an
element to 40%, you would use:

opacity: 0.4;

However, in true MS style, you have to do something different to get
it to work in IE.  Internet Explorer accepts the 'filter' property.
Do make the example above work in IE, you would use:

filter: alpha(filter = 40)

You can learn a little more about it here:

Hope that helps.

 Hye,

 I would like to create a menu, with a 80% opacity background, but I
 want to keep the link element at 100% opacity.

 For example :
 lia href=link.htmllorem ipsum/a/li
 I would like to have the li element at 80%, but the a element at
 100% (or 120%).

 I know that I could use PNG, but it would be great if I could do this
 with just a CSS Color and jQuery. Is there any solution ?

Jim, read the question again ;)

Anyway.
There is no simple solution to this problem, I'd advise using a PNG 
image as it is the cleanest way to achieve this.

This will be easier sometime around 2012 when RGBA and HSLA colors are
widely supported :)
