I do not know if this has been asked before or not, but I am wondering if it is possible to have a transparent background on a webpage so that the desktop is seen "through it" and if so what would have to be used to do this.
Thanks

No, this is not possible with any W3C-sponsored technology or native browser features. The color, opacity, and other visual characteristics of the browser's "chrome" are dictated by the operating system of the user; they are not part of a web page and therefore cannot be controlled by the web page. However, it might be possible if you wrote a plugin or applet that would access the OS directly-- I'm not sure if browser security features would block that or not.
