There is no background-opacity property in CSS, but you can fake it by inserting a pseudo element with regular opacity the exact size of the element behind it.
For example, if the background color of the body or element is white (#FFFFFF), the text can appear transparent by setting the text color to white.
Definition and UsageThe opacity-level describes the transparency-level, where 1 is not transparent at all, 0.5 is 50% see-through, and 0 is completely transparent. Note: When using the opacity property to add transparency to the background of an element, all of its child elements become transparent as well.
opacity applies to the whole element, so if you have a background, border or other effects on that element, those will also become transparent. If you only want the text to be transparent, use rgba.
#foo {
color: #000; /* Fallback for older browsers */
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
font-size: 16pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
Also, steer far, far away from <font>. We have CSS for that now.
Check Opacity, You can set this css property to the div, the <p> or using <span> you want to make transparent
And by the way, the font tag is deprecated, use css to style the text
div {
opacity: 0.5;
}
Edit: This code will make the whole element transparent, if you want to make ** just the text ** transparent check @Mattias Buelens answer
Just use the rgba tag as your text color. You could use opacity, but that would affect the whole element, not just the text. Say you have a border, it would make that transparent as well.
.text
{
font-family: Garamond, serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}
Your best solution is to look at the "opacity" tag of an element.
For example:
.image
{
opacity:0.4;
filter:alpha(opacity=40); /* For IE8 and earlier */
}
So in your case it should look something like :
<html><span style="opacity: 0.5;"><font color=\"black\" face=\"arial\" size=\"4\">THIS IS MY TEXT</font></html>
However don't forget the tag isn't supported in HTML5.
You should use a CSS too :)
What about the css opacity attribute? 0 to 1 values.
But then you probably need to use a more explicit dom element than "font". For instance:
<html><body><span style=\"opacity: 0.5;\"><font color=\"black\" face=\"arial\" size=\"4\">THIS IS MY TEXT</font></span></body></html>
As an additional information I would of course suggest you use CSS declarations outside of your html elements, but as well try to use the font css style instead of the font html tag.

Easy! after your:
<font color=\"black\" face=\"arial\" size=\"4\">
add this one:
<font style="opacity:.6">
you just have to change the ".6" for a decimal number between 1 and 0
