Information
Placing text over an image can sometimes make it difficult to read, but with these methods the background for the text is made 'opaque' using various methods of opacity (including css3) and the black text is then quite readable.
Note that I have used two 'text' divs for method 1. One to hold the background opacity and the other to hold the text. If the text was placed in the same div as the opaque background then it too would become opaque.
Only one text div is required for methods 2, 3 and 4.
