This example has been put together to exhibit Opera's support for CSS 3 opacity. This page is a simple page with 2 <div>
s, one absolutely positioned over the other, but given opacity so you can see this one underneath it. The CSS that styles this is as follows:
body { font-family:georgia, serif; font-size: 80%; } #explanation { width: 400px; } #nonsense { position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 50px; background-color: hsl(240, 100%, 50%); Opacity: 0.85; width: 200px; padding: 5px; } #lighter { background-color: hsl(240, 100%, 60%); }
Wow - I'm still transparent, and now my background colour is being defined using an HSL colour value too!
This is a second paragraph, in which I easily created a lighter shade by simply increasing the lightness value.
