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.
