CSS - Layering <divs> on top of clear <div>'s

Is there a method to eliminate the transparency of content/images within a <div> that is transparent?

Below is the provided HTML:

    <div id="main-button-wrapper" class="left">

        <div id="button-bg-layer" class="box-bg-layer corners"></div>

        <div class="buttons-bg-overlay box-bg-overlay corners">

            <img alt="Test" src="http://www.schroff.co.uk/railway/src/symbol_test.gif" />

        </div>

    </div>

CSS:

#main-button-wrapper {
    height: 319px;
    margin-left: 22px;
    position: relative;
    width: 321px;
}

#button-bg-layer {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    height: 319px;
    width: 321px;
}

.buttons-bg-overlay {
    position: relative;
    right: 0;
    margin: 11px;
    height: 66px;
    width: 299px;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 26px;
}

#buttons-wrapper {
    position: relative;
    width: 299px;
    height: 297px;
    z-index: 3;
    margin: 22px;
}

/* Background Layers */

.box-bg-layer {
    background-color: #010101;
    z-index: 1;
    zoom: 1;
    filter: alpha(opacity=40);
    opacity: 0.4;   
}

.box-bg-overlay {
    background-color: #010101;
    z-index: 2;
    zoom: 1;
    filter: alpha(opacity=40);
    opacity: 0.4;   
}

I have experimented with adding a z-index: 4; on the image. Another solution I considered was setting the div backgrounds as absolute positioning, then moving the content outside of the div, but I believe there must be a simpler approach.

Your assistance on this matter would be greatly valued!

Answer №1

Instead of relying on the opacity property, consider using rgba where the a represents the alpha channel. By using this approach, you can ensure that child elements are not transparent...

background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5); /* Consider using RGBA to achieve a similar effect as opacity */

For instance, setting .4 for a is akin to applying opacity: 0.4

Here is the modified code snippet where opacity is applied to a pseudo class:

    #main-button-wrapper {
    height: 319px;
    margin-left: 22px;
    position: relative;
    width: 321px;
}

#button-bg-layer {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    height: 319px;
    width: 321px;
}

.buttons-bg-overlay {
    position: relative;
    right: 0;
    margin: 11px;
    height: 66px;
    width: 299px;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 26px;
}

#buttons-wrapper {
    position: relative;
    width: 299px;
    height: 297px;
    z-index: 3;
    margin: 22px;
}

/* Background Layers */
.box-bg-layer{
background-color: #010101;
    z-index: 1;
zoom: 1;}
.box-bg-layer : after{

    filter: alpha(opacity=40);
    opacity: 0.4;   
}
.box-bg-overlay {   background-color: red;
    z-index: 2;
    zoom: 1;
}
.box-bg-overlay :after{
    filter: alpha(opacity=40);
    opacity: 0.4;   
}
