The problem you probably have (based on looking at your selectors) is that opacity affects all child elements of a parent:

div
{
    background: #000;
    opacity: .4;
    padding: 20px;
}

p
{
    background: #f00;
    opacity: 1;
}​

But there is a solution! Use rgba background values and you can have transparency wherever you want :)

div
{
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
    /*opacity: .4;*/
    padding: 20px;
}

p
{
    background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
    /*opacity: 1;*/
}​

For text, you can just use the same rgba code, but set to the color property of CSS:

color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);

But you must use rgba on everything for this to work, you have to remove the opacity for all parent elements.
