Content in a div with a transparency level set at 50%

Within a div container, I currently have text displayed.

The challenge that I'm facing is that the container itself has an opacity of 0.5, and I would like the text to be fully visible with an opacity of 1. Unfortunately, due to the constraints of the div, the text cannot exceed an opacity of 0.5.

I attempted to address this issue by setting the "p" elements to an opacity of 1.0 in the stylesheet, but unfortunately, this approach did not yield the desired outcome.

Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for this problem?

Answer №1

To achieve transparency, it is recommended to utilize the rgba() function within the container div instead of using the opacity property. This prevents the issue where any child element cannot have a opacity higher than its parent due to inheritance of the opacity property by all nested elements.

Answer №2

It's difficult to give a precise answer without knowing the details of your situation, but one thing to keep in mind is that the opacity of an element depends on its parent.

An easy workaround could be to create another div nested within the existing one. Set this second div to position: relative, and make the transparent div within it as 

position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%;
. This will ensure that the background remains transparent while other elements inside the main div can have full opacity. Just remember to also set their position to relative so they are not covered up by the first div.

Check out this example for reference.
