Web Design Transparent Backgrounds
Why : Allow text to appear clearly above a graphic background image that still can be seen in the background . Without Transparency With Transparency
How the technique works • Insert a container div that has your picture as a background image. • Insert a nested div smaller than the container. (Trans Div) • Style the Trans div to be partially transparent. • Type your text using a color that provides high contrast with the image below.
The HTML Body Code • <div class="container" style= background-image: url('cptrees.jpg‘); > • <div class="transbox">Here enter your content: paragraphs, lists, tables etc </div> /* End transparent div */</div> /* End container div */
The Embedded Style Code for the Trans Div • <head> ….<style type="text/css"> div.transbox /* • { • width: 500px; • height: 418px; • background-color: #c3a342; /* color of the transparent box (div) */ • border: 1px solid black; • /* for IE */ filter: alpha(opacity=80); /* CSS3 standard */; • opacity: 0.80; • margin-top: 100px; • margin-left: 250px; • } • div.transbox p • { • margin:0px 40px; • font-weight:bold; • color:#000000; /* text will be black */ • } • </style></head>
