Meh, I really suck at this...
So I place my text, use the magic wand tool, click on the color I want to be transparent, hit delete, and...That's it?

Wait, you want a specific color from the whole image transparent? I thought you just wanted to specify the transparent areas manually. Well, you can sorta do that with the magic wand... just click on the concentration of color, and hit delete.

Where a certain color is. Gah, ignore that word... Here.
Example:
I make a red ball over a purple background.
I get the magic wand tool, click the purple background, and it will select everything touching the color you clicked that's similar in color value, in this case, all of the purple.
Hit delete.
And the selected area should be erased.

OK, here's what I did...
1) Placed black text on white background
2) Chose the magic wand
3) Clicked on the white
4) Rasterized the layer (whatever that means)
5) Hit delete
6) Saved it as a GIF
7) IE doesn't seem to like transparency...

Okay.. uh. When you delete the color in photoshop, do you see the checkered background? That should be the transparent area...

No, it's solid white, with a moving line-border, and the text is kind of blurry-like...

Hmmm... I'm lost then. Photoshop has a checkered background, and THAT is to signal what's transparent. Solid white will just show up as... well... solid white. I wish I could see what you were doing...
And Internet Explorer is fine with transparency.
