Perhaps there's a way to re-imagine the design, if for example the content is absolutely positioned with no background, then you could use images or other divs underneath that content to create the translucent background effect you are looking for. This is sort of what I was getting at in the last paragraph, and is a decent option if you have some good reason for needing absolutely positioned content, like keeping your navigation semantically at the bottom of the document, but visually at the top. I hope that helps. I’m assuming you mean for Internet Explorer, because in other browsers the opacity should not be effected by the positioning.
