CSS Create a transparent div

Question

Is there a way to make a div HTML element half transparent?

Answer 1

If you only want the background of your div semi-transparent, not any text and elements inside it, you can simply set a background-color to a transparent-one (i.e. with alpha < 1).

One example is at our website, a minimized example here:

  
  


  

    
normal text
    
nontransparent
