You might have to use inline styling for div2. Inline styling overrides css.

Solution 1

By design you can't. But there are methods to circumvent it. Look here: http://www.impressivewebs.com/css-opacity-that-doesnt-affect-child-elements/[^]

Solution 2

Try using !important for #div2

CSS

div#div1
{
opacity : 0.5
}

div#div2
{
opacity : 1 !important
}
