Html transparent text input box

I have the following code example:

<style>
{ margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html, body {
	margin: 0;
	height: 100%;
	width: 100%;
    overflow:hidden;
	background-size: 100% 100%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.input {
	margin: 0;
	padding-top:0px;
	padding-bottom:0px;
	padding-left:0px;
	padding-right:0px;
	opacity: 0.6;
	filter: alpha(opacity=60); /* For IE8 and earlier */
	background-color:#000;
  border:none;
  outline:none;
}
#input {
  opacity: 0.6;
	filter: alpha(opacity=60); /* For IE8 and earlier */
  border:none;
  outline:none;
  }
.bgDiv {
	margin: 0;
	padding-top:0px;
	padding-bottom:0px;
	padding-left:0px;
	padding-right:0px;
	z-index:1;
}
.mainDiv {
	margin: 0;
	padding-top:0px;
	padding-bottom:0px;
	padding-left:0px;
	padding-right:0px;
	z-index:3;
}
</style>
<div id="bgDiv" name="bgDiv" class="bgDiv">
<img src="http://wallpapercave.com/wp/2u5OrmL.png" style="background-image: url('http://wallpapercave.com/wp/2u5OrmL.png'); -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover;">
</div>
<div id="mainDiv" name="mainDiv" class="mainDiv">
<form id="iform" name="iform" action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" maxleth="18" align="center" id="input" name="input" class="input" placeholder="placeholder" style="border:0;outline:none;width:100%;height:100%;font-size:98px;text-align: center;" autocomplete="off" autofocus>
</form>
</div>

I am attempting to make the text input have a transparent background, so the user can see the underlying background image of the page. While at the same time, still be able to see text typed in the box.

input[type=text] {
background: transparent;
border: none;

} background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);

none of those seem to work or have any effect. Please help.

For one of the websites I am working on, I was able to use transparent text in order to bring a button lower than it was initially supposed to be. 

<div style="display:inline-block;user-select: none;opacity: 0;border:0.1px solid ;border-radius:1px;padding:1px;background:linear-gradient(to bottom,,)">Transparent Text</div>

This div style has no user select, and opacity. When viewed, for my website anyway is completely invisible as intended.

I hope this helps in some way! I know I am kinda late to the party.

If any of the above code doesn't work for you , then try this

<input type="text" name="name" style="background-color:transparent;" />

This worked for me.

I think this is the thing that you want :

body,html{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0
}
.wrapper{
  background: url('http://wallpapercave.com/wp/2u5OrmL.png');
  height: 100vh;
  text-align: center
}
input{
  background: transparent;
  color: #FFF;
  top: 40vh;
  position: relative;
  border: 1px solid #FFF;
  display: inline-block;
}
<div class="wrapper">
  <form id="iform" name="iform" action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" maxleth="18" align="center" id="input" name="input" class="input" placeholder="placeholder" style="width:90%;font-size:98px;text-align: center;" autocomplete="off" autofocus>
</form>
</div>

Try:

  margin: 30px;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border: 1px solid black;
  opacity: 0.6;
  filter: alpha(opacity=60); /* For IE8 and earlier */

Here's a fiddle that gives an example.
