How do I code HTML to make a semi-transparent box?

I'm coding my myspace page and I need the boxes' backgrounds to be transparent, but when I do this, it makes the text and pictures so faint that you can hardly read them. The background color is set to 'transparent' right now and other colors are just regular. I know that in picture editing software such as CS you can adjust the levels of transparency. Can you do this in HTML code?

  1. The short answer is no, in CSS, the opacity of a DIV applies to all items within the DIV, not just its background.
