    box not showing

    Still somewhat of a beginning programmer. But having a small issue.

    the box is obviously there as the information that goes within it populates when the link is clicked to populate the area. however the background does not show.

    Code:
    #main{
        position: absolute;
        display: block;
        top: 183px;
        width: 1280px;
        min-height: 500px;
        color: #ffffff;
    }
    
    #main background{
        background-color: #000000;
        opacity: 0.7;
    }
    i need the background element out separate so that only it goes transparent. Don't want the text transparent. If i modify the code to move the background-color property inside the #main id it will show the background. Can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Any assistance would be helpful. Thank you.

    your CSS is invalid, there's no tag named <background>.
    if you created a <background> inside a tag with id #main that background tag will simply get ignored, you can't css it.
