Question posted in 
I have this image (https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/08/25/03/51/toner-906142__480.jpg) as as backround image and this light box below it. I would want to have the light box on top of my backround image, so that the backround image can be seen trough the box. I have tried to get in on (top of) the picture instead of being outside of it, but nothing works so far.
I want to have this headline and these words inside the white box, with the backround image seeing trough (opacity being maby 0.5).

Simply add this CSS to your
.transboxstyleshttps://jsfiddle.net/rjaw5nvx/
You could also use flexbox to center the box vertically and horizontally but that’s a little bit more complicated.
You can use
display: flexon.containerto place elements inside.containeron top. I have added some comments to minimize your code. Check it out!
