Tested a page using a semi-transparent background for a div on one of the mac/safari screenshot sites and it shows as entirely opaque. Is this filter not compatible with mac browsers?

filter: alpha(opacity=70);
-moz-opacity: 0.70;

filter:alpha() is used for IE and -moz-opacity is for older mozilla browsers. Safari understands the css3 standard which is just to use:

opacity:0.70;

It won't understand either of the two ways you have now

Thank you, vangogh. Consider yourself briefly worshipped.
