Were you using opacity? Use rgba or hsla on the background.

background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .2);

For older versions of IE that don't support RGBA and HSLA, you can use a gradient filter with the same start and end colors.

div {filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#33000000,endColorstr=#33000000);}

Note: #33000000 is rgba(0, 0, 0, .2)
