Is the image a `background-image` or inserted via the `<img />` tag ? If it is the latter, then apply the opacity property to the image, as Tom just pointed out. If it is the former - there is no such property as `background-opacity`. However, you can eventually workaround this (assuming the background behind the container is a flat colour). Just add another layer (a fake, semi-transparent colour block) to your background property, **on top** of the image layer: .container { background-image: linear-gradient(hsla(0,0%,100%. .5),hsla(0,0%,100%. .5)), url(path/to/image.jpg); background-size: 100px,100px; } Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh https://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
