transparent background image

Question

I have the following css.

   #mypass{
                background-image: url("Images/logo.png");
                background-attachment: fixed;
                background-position:140px 100px ;
                background-size: 100px;
                background-repeat: no-repeat;
                opacity:0.5;
                fileter:alpha(opacity=40);
                color: blue;
        }

and iam using this as

<div id="mypass">
      <center><h2>PRAGATI ENGINEERING COLLEGE</h2>
    <h5>1-378,ADB Road,Surampalem-533437,E.G.Dist.,ph:08852-252233</h5></center>

      <%    out.println("________________________________________________________");
        String photo="Image/"+id+".jpeg";
       System.out.println(photo);

       String yy="";
       int y=((1900+d.getYear())-(Integer.parseInt(id.substring(0, 2))+2000))+1 ;
       switch(y){
          case 1:   yy=y+" st";break;
          case 2:   yy=y+" rd";break;
          case 3:   yy=y+" rd";break;
          case 4:   yy=y+" th";break;
          default: yy=y+" th";
       }

       int branch=Integer.parseInt(id.substring(6,8));
       System.out.println(branch);
       switch(branch){
         case 12:yy+=" IT";break;
         case 05:yy+=" CSE";break;
         case 03:yy+=" MECH";break;
         case 02:yy+=" EEE";break;
         case 04:yy+=" ECE";break;
         default:yy+="PEC";
       }
    %>
      <h2 class="buspass" style="color:#FF33CC"><a class=title onclick="javascipt:window.print(), width=400, height=400" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand'">BusPass</a></h2>
      <img class="printright" src="<%=photo%>" width="90" height="90" />
      <table>
         <!-- <tr><td>RollNumber</td><td>: <%=id%></td></tr> -->
          <tr ><td>Name</td><td style="color:black">: <%=name%></td></tr>
          <tr><td>Class</td><td style="color:black">: <%=yy%></td></tr>
          <tr><td>AcadamicYear</td><td style="color:black">: <%=s%></td></tr>
          <tr><td>Stage</td><td style="color:black">: <%=pickuppoint%></td></tr>
          <tr><td>BusRoute</td><td style="color:black">: <%=routecode%></td></tr>
        <!--  <tr><td>SeatNo</td><td>: <%=seatno%></td></tr>-->
        <!--  <tr><td>IssueDate</td><td>: <%=ddd%></td></tr> -->
      <!--    <tr><td>ValidTill</td><td>: <%=valid%></td></tr> -->
      </table>
      <h3 class="printrightdown">INCHARGE</h3>
    </div>

that is applied to all the elements that uses the class.Instead i want to use opacity and filters only to background image..How can i do it ??

Answer 1

You can't adjust the translucency of a background image with CSS.

You can adjust the translucency of an entire element (opacity) or of a plain background rgba(), but not a background image.

Use an image format that supports translucency natively (such as PNG) and embed the translucency you want in the image itself.
