It's working fine in IE 9, but on IE 8, it does get white background. I'm looking at it, and will update if I get time. — Naveed Ahmad, Apr 19 '11 at 08:59
The white background is there to keep the transition smooth in ie. — easwee, Apr 19 '11 at 09:19

This is the correct answer to the original question:

Add this param to your jQuery: cleartypeNoBg:true

so it should look like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#your_div_id').cycle({       
        fx: 'fade',
        cleartypeNoBg:true
    });
});

If your css has rgba values and still it is not being displayed then you should try add this to your ie.css file for that particular div

Transparent background for IE hack :

background: transparent; 
 filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#808ED557,endColorstr=#808ED557);
