opacity()

The opacity() CSS function applies transparency to the samples in the input image. Its result is a <filter-function>.

Note: This function is similar to the more established opacity property. The difference is that with filters, some browsers provide hardware acceleration for better performance.

Parameters

amount

The amount of the conversion, specified as a <number> or a <percentage>. A value of 0% is completely transparent, while a value of 100% leaves the input unchanged. Values between 0% and 100% are linear multipliers on the effect. The lacuna value for interpolation is 1.

Examples

When i was a little kid, I was really scared of the dark. But then I came to understand, dark just means the absence of photons in the visible wavelength -- 400 to 700 nanometers. Then i thought, well, its really silly to be afraid of a lack of photons. Then i wasn't afraid of the dark anymore after that.
