Image Rollover - Solid color with text

Would anyone be able to explain to me how to do a rollover like the sample below:

I'm looking to set my portfolio up the same way, but cant seem to figure out his code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Using Chrome's built-in developer tools (or Firebug or IE's developer tools), you can look at the source code and see how they did it.

It looks like an image with a div on top that initially has display: none; set. On hover, it is set to display: block; which will then cover the picture with whatever color and text is defined within that div.

Here is a quick sample I threw together. It uses opacity rather than display to hide the element, but has the same effect.
