CSS Tabbed Divs opacity

Question

I followed a tutorial online to make this neat little tabbed div content display but I seem to be having an issue when setting the opacity on the background. By doing this it reveals the hidden content. I've tried playing around and setting opacity at differnt layers but I havent had any luck. Here's an example that you can see. Let me know what you guys think

HTML

    <div class="tabs">
        <div class="tab">
            <input type="radio" id="tab-1" name="tab-group-1" checked>
            <label for="tab-1">Tab1</label>

       <div class="content" id="scrollbar">
            <div id="tabcontenttitle"><h1 class="h1titles">title 1</div>
            <div id="scrollbar" style="overflow: auto; height: 185px;  width: 100%; padding-right: 19px;">  <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

CSS

#scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-track
{
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
    background-color: #000;
}

#scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar
{
    width: 12px;
    background-color: #F5F5F5;
}

#scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb
{
    background-color: #cd2429;  
}


.tabs {
  position: relative;   
  min-height: 200px; /* This part sucks */
  clear: both;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.tab {
  float: left;
}
.tab label { 
top: -1px;
font-family: font1;
font-size: 20px;
  background: #000; 
  color: #fff;
  padding: 7px; 
  margin-left: -1px;    
  position: relative;
  left: 1px; 
}
.tab [type=radio] {
  display: none;   
}
.content {
  position: absolute;
  top: 28px;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  padding-left: 20px;
  padding-right: 20px;
  padding-bottom: 20px;
  width: 460px; height: 230px;-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0;
border-radius: 5px;
border-top-left-radius: 0;color: #fff; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.6);

  line-height: 20px;  overflow: hidden; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;
}
[type=radio]:checked ~ label {
    background: #cd2429;
  z-index: 2;
}
[type=radio]:checked ~ label ~ .content {
  z-index: 1;
}

#tabcontenttitle {style="display: block; clear: both; position: relative; padding-bottom: 10px;}
.tabcontenttext {style="overflow: auto; height: 15px;  width: 100%; padding-right: 19px;}

The problem with opacity is that it is, well.. Opaque. Setting the opacity at different levels won't do you much good, since everything within the outmost opaque element will also be opaque. I would suggest taking a look at [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2356711/create-non-transparent-div-on-top-of-transparent-parent-element). — EscalatedQuickly, Dec 22 '13 at 09:42

In CSS section .content replace background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.6); with background-color: #282828;

The background transparency set to 0.6 reveals the content lying under the displayed layer.

New answer

In section .content replace color: #fff; with color: transparent;.

In section [type=radio]:checked ~ label ~ .content add color: #fff;; after the same section add the following code:

.content * {
visibility: hidden;
}

[type=radio]:checked ~ label ~ .content * {
visibility: visible;
}

This code makes the text color of the underlying layer transparent ( = invisible! ) and hides all the elements inside it.

Unfortunately if I did that, then I would lose the opacity that I'm looking for =/. I have a background splash image that I want this div to be opaque on top of – RomeNYRR Dec 22 '13 at 19:57
EDIT: I've just had a new idea. Let me know if it solves your problem! :) – Andrea Riva Dec 24 '13 at 19:50
