I think what your customer might be looking for (and consequently, what you are 
looking for) is not transparent, but semi-transparent.  If you make the 
background completely transparent, you won't be able to see the menu and it 
will be completely useless.  However, you could make the background color 
semi-transparent/opaque, allowing you to see the menu and also see what is 
underneath it (like a lightbox type effect).  Here is a cross-browser CSS 
transparency solution:

.transparent_class {
     background-color:#333;
     filter:alpha(opacity=50);  
     -moz-opacity:0.5;  
     -khtml-opacity: 0.5;  
     opacity: 0.5;
     -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";  
}

This will result in a 50% gray opaque background.  Hope this help Hans.
