In this lesson we learn about the opacity property in CSS, my question is, is there a way of changing JUST the background, or even JUST the foreground, using the opacity property, I’m aware you can just use RGBA on the color property or background-color property, but i’m wanting to know if you can change just the background or foreground using the OPACITY property
First question on here so I’m sure it’s either pretty basic, or the next lesson will give me the answer!
Why does/Does the position of the opacity property within the .caption class (in this lesson example) change the effect of the property. When I put the opacity property at the bottom of the list of properties it did not work properly, whereas if it’s at the top it has the desired effect. Is there somewhere I can read about why this is the case please?
Can you show us the CSS you were using that did not work?
I ask this because we need to be sure that there are no errors in the declaration block, and because there is no insertion order in selector rulesets; they are unordered objects.
