How do I create a semi transparent .gif in photoshop for the web?

I know how to create a semi transparent .gif and save for web, but it always looks grainy and pixelated, does anyone know how to create a a soft semi transparent image? I tried changing the colour mode to 16 bit but this made no difference. any ideas?

Not gonna happen. Just make a jpeg and use the opacity CSS properties to see "transparency.

    GIF only lets you have pixels that are either fully transparent, or fully opaque. You need to use PNG format instead.
