I've set a wrapper DIV to 0.4 opacity, how do I prevent the opacity of any content?

Thanks in advance

Hi there Burgin,

try it with "rgba()"...

to clarify,

opacity applies to an element and all of its content (all child elements and text). it's supposed to work this way; you can't "prevent" it.

if you only want the background to be semi-transparent, use an rgba value for the element's background, as coothead suggests.
