Hi there,

I'd like to make a container div semi-transparent and its contents
opaque.

On the following page, the semi-transparency of the containing div is
inherited by its children (whereas I'd like the "Pigeon In Motion"
article to be fully opaque against its semi-transparent white
background):

Any ideas?

Thanks for the idea, but I have used that kind of transparency before
(the alternate pixels transparent trick) and when scrolling through
large sections in Firefox and Safari, they sometimes 'tear' or flicker.

I'd rather get transparency using a W3C method
