color: transparent is not working in Internet Explorer

Question

color: transparent is working in Firefox, but it's not working in Internet Explorer. What else I can use to make the font color transparent?

Answer 1

According to CSS spec the color property doesn't have transparent value defined, so IE behavior is correct. If you want to have invisible element, use visibility: hidden.

Answer 2

Use

rgba(112, 112, 112, 0.5)

where 0.5 is opacity level instead of

#hexcodes
