title: How can I add a large faded text background via css?
body: <p>I'm looking to create a Zune/Microsoft-style oversized title in CSS so that a div has a semi-transparent text behind it.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NeXZc.jpg" alt="example"></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  I'm hoping to keep it as unreliant on plugins and images as possible — but it's important that the text can overflow (invisibly), and that it can be changed (probably by JS).  It must be able to overflow slightly without appearing outside the div; that is, notice the bottom of the "text" letters; this is the equivalent of setting <code>bottom: -5px;</code> in CSS.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I'm considering:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#about_big {
      font-family: "Proxima Light", sans-serif;
      font-size: 2000%;
      color: rgba(100, 100, 100, .5);
      overflow: hidden;
      padding: 0;
      margin: 0;
      position: absolute;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...inside an <code>about</code> div that is also <code>overflow: hidden;</code> but... Alas. It does not hide. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
