Question

See http://i40.tinypic.com/2nv4gol.png for example image.

I have a span element (blue background in example image) that contains other span elements (red background in example image). Currently, the inner spans’ red background color take precedence over the container span’s blue background color.

I need the container span’s blue background color to take precedence over the inner spans’ red background color.

Can I do something with the container span’s z-index and fiddle its opacity? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

maybe you can define a new css for the inner spans, make it transparent background and add a !important to the CSS rule, like, if the inner spans are class ‘x’ …
.x {background-color:transparent !important}
