OK solved my own problem, the correct syntax is actually empty quotes, not transparent.
chartArea: {
background:
""
},

Hi,
Useful post - I came across exactly the same issue.
It's probably worth mentioning this in the Kendo documentation as you are led to believe elsewhere that valid CSS colour names can be used for specifying backgrounds.

I cannot achieve a transparent plot area for a bar graph using this method in IE or Firefox.

Hello,
Instead of documenting it we decided to, well, fix it. "Transparent" will work in future versions, including internal builds.
Thanks for reporting, Alan. I've updated your Telerik points as a token of gratitude.

@RLCreative - I've prepared a simple page that shows transparent background in IE and Firefox - http://jsbin.com/onenif/5/

Just an FYI here - This fails in Opera as well. Tried Opera 12.62, as well as Opera Mobile.
chartArea: {
background: "transparent",
height: 250
}
chartArea: {
background: "transparent",

As of version v2013.2.918 blank string or "transparent" do NOT result in a chart area that is transparent.
Tested in FF 26 and Chrome 32.0.1700.76
I'm using the Flat theme.

Hi Dave,
I tested this scenario in both Firefox and Google Chrome using v2013.2.918, however the transparent background is applied as expected (short screencast capture). For your convenience here is a simple jsBin example - could you please edit it and show me your current implementation? This way I would be able to check what exactly is going wrong and advice you further.
