Resetting the opacity of a child element - Maple Browser (Samsung TV App)

css, javascript, samsung-smart-tv, smart-tv

Solution

The problem you probably have (based on looking at your selectors) is that opacity affects all child elements of a parent:

div
{
    background: #000;
    opacity: .4;
    padding: 20px;
}

p
{
    background: #f00;
    opacity: 1;
}​

But there is a solution! Use rgba background values and you can have transparency wherever you want :)

div
{
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
    /*opacity: .4;*/
    padding: 20px;
}

p
{
    background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
    /*opacity: 1;*/
}​

For text, you can just use the same rgba code, but set to the color property of CSS:

color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);

But you must use rgba on everything for this to work, you have to remove the opacity for all parent elements.

Problem

I have an issue with creating a transparent element which has a child element. Using this code the child element gets the opacity value from the parent element. I need to reset/set the child's element opacity to an arbitrary value. Browser of reference is `Maple Browser (for a Samsung TV Application)`. ``` .video-caption { position: absolute; top:50px; width: 180px; height: 55px; background-color: #000; -khtml-opacity:.40; -moz-opacity:.40; -ms-filter:"alpha(opacity=40)"; filter:alpha(opacity=40); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=0.4); /*just for testing*/ opacity:.40; } .video-caption > p { color: #fff !important; font-size: 18px; -khtml-opacity:1; -moz-opacity:1; -ms-filter:"alpha(opacity=100)"; filter:alpha(opacity=100); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=1); opacity:1; } ``` EDIT MARKUP ``` <div> <img id="videothb-1" src="https://xxxxx/splash.jpg"> <div class="video-caption"> <p>Description here</p> </div> </div> ```
