Also, you can use IE filter for gradients, which allow for opacity:
div { filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#66FFFF00,
endColorstr=#66FFFF00 ); }
#66FF00 would be the hexadecimal color. Then the last hexadecimal value would
be the opacity of the color.
Hope this helps!
