Transparency CSS not working?

[Swifty550]

I'm trying to apply transparency to the content section, but it just gives me a grey color?

Any ideas? Thanks.

What is the actual CSS you have attempted to use?

Where have you used it?

In EXTRA.css? In a Style Property?

please post a link or an image with an arrow pointing to the area that you want transparent

I've applied it in the Styles property - both by setting the Alpha in Color picker and also via the extra .css box.

It just shows up as a solid grey?

You can see the values on the right.

try opacity: 0.4

 

[Swifty550]

try opacity: 0.4

Still solid grey...

Sorted. Stupid thing.

Mind posting how you sorted it? It can help others with the same problem.

probably page width

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> EXTRA.css

#content .pageWidth
 
{
 
background-color: transparent !important;
 
}

That.

Don't use opacity.
