How to make div background color transparent in CSS

I'm not using CSS3. So I can't use opacity or filter attributes. Without using these attributes how can I make the background-color transparent of a div? It should be kind of the text box example in this link. Here the text box background color is transparent. I want to make the same, but without using the above mentioned attributes.

Solution

  • Opacity gives you translucency or transparency. See an example Fiddle here.

    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";       /* IE 8 */
filter: alpha(opacity=50);  /* IE 5-7 */
-moz-opacity: 0.5;          /* Netscape */
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;        /* Safari 1.x */
opacity: 0.5;               /* Good browsers */

    Note: these are NOT CSS3 properties
