Opacity in CSS

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Example of Opacity

Today we learn about opacity in CSS! I made an example here and here you have the files.

Information about opacity in CSS:

The opacity property takes a value of the amount of transparency from 0.0 to 1.0. 0.0 is 100% transparent - anything below that element will show completely through. 1.0 is 100% opaque - nothing below the element will show through.

So to set an element to 50% transparent, you would write: opacity:0.5;

Neither IE 6 nor 7 support the CSS 3 opacity property. But you’re not out of luck. Instead, IE supports a Microsoft-only property “alpha filter”. Alpha filters in IE accept values from 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque). So, to get your transparency in IE, you should multiply your opacity by 100 and add an alpha filter to your styles:

Alpha filter for IE: filter: alpha(opacity=50);
Alpha filter for Mozilla: -moz-opacity:0.5;

There are only advantages of making your CSS files some smaller.

Another thing is that your file will become more organized and clean. Read on to get tips of improvement.

The main idea of this article is to reduce the number of characters you have used in your CSS. The less characters, the smaller your file.

Comments

You have different ways of using comments. Comments may be something you can not delete in your CSS, because you might forget something (or your fellow-workers). But, there are a couple ways of using them.

/*———————-*/
/*—-Comment—-*/

These lines of code do the same as:
