Opaque image on a transparent background

[superdan_35]

I have recently changed the design of a site to incorporate a transparent background in div containers using the new CSS3 styles. The only problem is that any images I have within these div containers also become transparent.

The page in question is a div container with a table inside. The image (a jpeg with solid white background) is placed inside the table with a div of it's own for styling. I have tried setting opacity for the image div as well as background colours and images, none of which work. I have also tried to give the table cell a background colour.

Any ideas would be brilliant!

Thanks,
Dan

theres a solution on web somewhere - had same problem though I wasnt using css3 - I had to place opaque items in a relative position div with defined height and width that was wrapped inside a fixed position div

took ages to get it working...
.opaquebox{
height:100%;
width: 100%;
background-color:transparent;
position: relative;
}
