This can be done with: before or: after
#box1{
position:relative;
}
#box1:before{
content:'';
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
right:0;
bottom:0;
background:black;
opacity:0;
z-index:0;
}
#box1:hover:before{
opacity:.6;
transition: all 0.5s;
}
#box1 > *{
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}

CS3 is great! You don't need JS for simple rollover effects anymore. Gopalraju on the code should work and my example is below. You can have a fiddle with it and use the code as you see fit.
The parent div, has a black page background, and the imgdiv changes everything inside it to 50% opacity on the mouse, rolling over the div. In this case, the image is inside a div.
There are several ways to do this. It's just another way to advertise. Good luck.
.parentdiv {
background-color:#000;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
.imgdiv {
padding:30px;
}
.imgdiv a{
opacity: 1;
filter: alpha(opacity=100);
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s linear;
}
.imgdiv a:hover {
opacity: 0.5;
filter: alpha(opacity=50);
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s linear;
}
<div class="parentdiv">
<div class="imgdiv">
<a href="http://www.domain.com.au/link.html">
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" alt="image" height="150" width="350">
</a>
</div>
</div>
