Yes. off the top of my head, this would be one way of doing it, and I'm sure there will be others:
- Have 2 containers of the same size and same position, the lower one empty with a background colour and opacity, and the upper 1 with the content.
However, then you have to make sure the sizes and positions are identical - which might be easy if your content never changes in size, but not otherwise.
May I ask why you want to avoid using PNGs? It's the best solution, IMHO, and even in IE6 there's no PNG issue that cannot be worked around.
