    div {background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5);

That won't work in IE/Win, I believe, but it will in pretty much 
anything else of recent vintage.  Alternatively, you could create a 
smallish PNG which is all white and has 50% opacity and drop it into 
the background of the div.  That will work in all current browsers 
including IE/Win.
