Transparency in Dreamweaver.

eddiehead · 2009-12-10 17:17:38

Hi all, How, using Dreamweaver/CSS, would I go about rendering the background of a div as transparent? Basically I'm using container divs for my header & nav bar so I would rather just use the one background (the one for the complete body of the page or even just the main div). Thanks in advance for any help.

You can use CSS opacity, but be aware that any nested child elements can't go beyond that opacity.

e.g. If a div is 50% and the links within it are 100%, those links will be "100% OF 50%".

P.S. Just re-read your post. If you don't have any background image or colour set (or you explicitly set them to "none") then the background will by FULLY transparent.
