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     lt html gt  lt span style  opacity  0 5   gt  lt font color   black   face   arial   size   4   gt THIS IS MY TEXT lt  font gt  lt  html gt    However don t forget the  tag isn t supported in HTML5   You should use a CSS too

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  lt font gt   We have CSS for that now

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    lt html gt  lt body gt  lt span style   opacity  0 5    gt  lt font color   black   face   arial   size   4   gt THIS IS MY TEXT lt  font gt  lt  span gt  lt  body gt  lt  html gt    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   For cross browser css3 styles generator  have a look at http   css3please com

There is no CSS property like background-opacity that you can use only for changing the opacity or transparency of an element s background without affecting the child elements  on the other hand if you will try to use the CSS opacity property it will not only changes the opacity of background but changes the opacity of all the child elements as well  In such situation you can use RGBA color introduced in CSS3 that includes alpha transparency as part of the color value  Using RGBA color you can set the color of the background as well as its transparency

If you use opacity to a element  entire element effect that background other things in it  you can use mix-blend-mode to the CSS attributes of the specific element  Refer these sites  https   css-tricks com almanac properties m mix-blend-mode  https   css-tricks com basics-css-blend-modes

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

Check Opacity  You can set this css property to the div  the  lt p gt  or using  lt span gt  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
