CSS Transparency question

[lozina]

So digging around on the net I found a really nice way to get a semi-transparent background using css with the following property:

filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;

but now my problem is if I write any text on this layer the text too becomes semi-transparent.

Can I use CSS to write solid text on a semi-transparent layer?

example code attached (how can I get "overText" to be solid color):

Unfortunately it's working as intended, ie the whole container (and everything within) has the transparency. Usually the best way around it is overlaying the text on top of the transparent layer.
