A:
well - browsers interpret many things differently... the ie is the worst case in this scenario... you will see ^^ even different versions of the same browser will react differently!!! so it is important that you tell us, which exact version of ie you mean!
in your case: try
filter: alpha(opacity=60);

What's so special about the number 60?

@Eric: It means 60%. 100% means fully opaque and 0% means fully transparent.

A:
You could try the following:
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
0.5 being the opacity.

RGBA notation is even less likely to work in older IEs than `color: transparent`.

RGBA does not work in IE 8 or any previous version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc351024(VS.85).aspx

A:
I would use visibility: hidden. The element will take up the same space, but it will be invisible. visibility is supported in IE 5+ as well as all major browsers.

+1 Not the best answer to the question, but probably the best solution for the problem.

A:
If your background is solid color, you can set the font color same as the background-color.

You can use this technique

set transparency according to your needs
.transparent_class {
/* IE 8 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";
/* IE 5-7 */
filter: alpha(opacity=50);
/* Netscape */
-moz-opacity: 0.5;
/* Safari 1.x */
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;
/* Good browsers */
opacity: 0.5;
