It is my understanding that when one places the transparency aspect on an element, the opacity always remains on top. My question is: What is the best way to place an element on top of the opacity.
Here is the Jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6xV4B/
HTML:
<div id="header">
<ul id="social" class="center">
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook Icon" /></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter Icon" /></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/linkedIn.png" alt="linkedIn Icon" /></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="backgroundOne">
<div id="backgroundTwo" class="center"></div>
</div>
<div id="blankTile1"></div>
<div id="myPicture" class="center">
<div id="logo"></div>
</div>
<div id="blanktileTwo"></div>
Here is the CSS:
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
background-color: #643b0f;
opacity: .5;
}
#social {
width: 1050px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#social li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 50px 0 0 50px;
}
#social li a {
padding: 0 50px;
}
#backgroundOne {
width: 100%;
height: 1200px;
background-color: blue;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
#myPicture {
width: 650px;
height: 955px;
margin: -1200px 0 0 325px;
position: absolute;
display: block;
background-color: yellow;
}
#backgroundTwo {
width: 960px;
height: 1200px;
background-color: #000;
opacity: .5;
}
#logo {
background-color: green;
}
#blankTile1 {
width: 100%;
height: 478px;
background-color: transparent;
}
#blankTile2 {
width: 100%;
height: 478px;
background-color: transparent;
}
(For further understanding - this is the beginning of a parallax project. This is in order to learn this technique.)
