Answer 1

It's absolutely possible.

#someDiv { border:1px solid #000; }

<div id="someDiv">The div must either have some content, or else have the height and width specified in the CSS above.</div>

Answer 2

The CSS:

div.emptybox {
  border: 1px solid black;
  background: transparent;
}

The HTML:

<div class="emptybox">
Hello World
</div>

Answer 3

Of course it is. <div> is transparent by default.

<style type="text/css">
.hw { border: 1px solid black; }
</style>

<div class="hw">Hello World</div>
