overlay in chrome - selected image is opaque rather than background only

Hello,
I'm having an issue with Chrome, that I did not have before. When I use Visual Index=Overlay, the images themselves become opaque when I click on them on the website. So, both images and background are opaque, rather than just images.

I've been looking through all of the threads on overlay and chrome, and the problem was fixed momentarily when I added z-index: 4; to #dialog in row 28. Although that piece of coding is in place, the problem has returned this morning. I've worked backwards and gone through everything I did to try and solve, but still the problem persists.

Any help to solve this would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I think that's a browser caching issue - that problem is not going to return like that. Try shift + browser refresh and check the CSS file to make sure the code is right.

Thank you, but the shift + browser refresh didn't work. Went back to the original question I asked about overlay indexhibit.org/forum/thread/18175/ to try and start from scratch, and it seems the code that worked back then is now incorrect - to the extent that it still works in Safari, but not Chrome.

indexhibit.org/forum/thread/18194/

Am starting to get confused by the coding, but have been trying different permutations and combinations of Row 14 and Rows 24-27 - changing opacity figures on both from 0 - 1.0, and nothing's working. Have pasted my CSS below. Still, it doesn't make sense that the code is the problem if it works perfectly in Safari, but not in Chrome. But I've cleared the Chrome cache back to 'beginning of time' and no luck.. Any help/suggestions, much appreciated. Thank you.

Row 14: .light-overlay { background-color: #fff; /* opacity: 0.9; */ }

Rows 24-27: #overlay { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; display: none; z-index: 3; filter: alpha(opacity=70); /* internet explorer */
-khtml-opacity: 0.7; /* khtml, old safari */
-moz-opacity: 0.7; /* mozilla, netscape */
opacity: 0.7; /* fx, safari, opera */ }

Hello, apologies to harp on this, but I would like to resolve it as I have a weekly email that goes out to a lot of people and it's probably a little frustrating for them if they can't view photos properly in Chrome. Please let me know if I should redirect my query to the Google/Chrome troubleshooting team.

Thank you,
Mayeta
