Nontransparent child in transparent parent

Question

I have transparent div-block in html. There is another child blocks in it. Is it possible to make that child divs untransparent?

Answer 1

No, it isn't possible. But in case you're merely looking for a transparent background, you can set the background-color using the rgba(RRR, GGG, BBB, AAA) construct, in which the last number is the alpha transparency value. It only works in modern browsers though.
