because Page Background property cannot hold this tranparent class because it makes all content transparent. you need to empty the Page Background css and put the white in the tranparent class.

.transparent{
background-color:#FFFFFF;
filter: alpha(opacity=70); /* ie */
-moz-opacity: .7; /* mozilla */ }

then maybe you can make a simple <div class="transparent"></div>

put the <div class="transparent"> in the bottom of header template before this comment <!-- content table -->

and the close div tag </div> in the footer template on top of the footer template.

*but remember to empty the background color of Page Background property in your style Main CSS. or put the value "transparent"
