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: #00f;
opacity: 0.85;
width: 200px;
padding: 5px;
}
Wow - you can see right through me! It's superb the way you can do this using only CSS, now that CSS 3 is in town.
