Text opacity in CSS

Question

Is there any way I could treat text inside of a wordpress widget, to make it semi transparent using an opacity funcion? Only limiting myself to the content of the following code

Answer 1

You can use rgba as the color attribute like this:

color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);

The 0.5 at the end specifiies 50% opacity. This would apply only to the text, and not the containing element.

You've got to watch the browser compatibility

Answer 2

use rgba values:

color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.2)
