Hi folks,
Is it possible to have a semi-transparent background colour for a 
block-level element in CSS.  Something along the lines of:

a {display: block; background-color: #334455; transparency: 50%;}

This doesn't work, but is there any real way of achieving this?

Thanks,
Raj.

Um, I tend to either agree or disagree with you
