unfortunately this can't be done. you cannot do this with any seperate html page (i.e. you can't do it with an external page in in a frame/iframe either. The only way to do it is to write the content onto a layer and give that layer a transparent background, but you are simply putting text/images onto a layer on the same page.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
