There is no CSS property background-opacity, but you can fake it by inserting a pseudo element with regular opacity the exact size of the element behind it.
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
display: block;
position: relative;
}
div::after {
content: "";
background: url(image.jpg);
opacity: 0.5;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
}
Shadow along the top edge of the website, like this:
body:before {
content: "";
position: fixed;
top: -10px;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 10px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.8);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.8);
box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.8);
z-index: 100;
}
.rotate {
/* Safari */
-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* Firefox */
-moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* IE */
-ms-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* Opera */
-o-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* Internet Explorer */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
}The example above rotates text 90 degrees counterclockwise.
The rotation property of Internet Explorer’s BasicImage filter can accept one of four values: 0, 1, 2, or 3 which will rotate the element 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees respectively.

}The !important rule at the end of a value will override any other style declarations of that attribute, including inline styles.
