Im curious as to how to create a clear background.

I have the body which normally carries a color or image depending on the theme design. However, in the container of most theme, are solid colored. I want to create or force that solid color container to become transparent or clear were i can see the body background. I figured opacity or the rgba() colors could figure it out but im having issues with it. Im guessing its a simply fix in which i honestly have issues with.

Can any enlighten me and help me with this? thank you

Just edit #container. You'll want to change the background property to:

background: transparent;

really just transparent? i was told over at sitepoint (webdesigning forum) that i needed the rgba values which i never sought ideal knowledge rather another form of color values. So i simply use transparent and it shold work?
thanks

Yeah, transparent works just fine. Though if you'd like, background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); would do the same, though it's not as cross-browser as the first. ^.^
