Is it a "Full Transparent" texture? Or a texture with transparency on one end like hair? If it's the first, you just need to find a better texture. If it's the second, set your repeats to something like 0.9 to get rid of that last bit of the beginning of the texture that may be showing up at the end. (^_^)y

This is a very thin box, right? What texture are you putting on the very thin edges? You need a 100% transparent texure for the edges. Search your inventory for something called alpha.

For 100% invisible, you need to set that as a texture, not by using the 'transparancy' thing in the build menu. Go to the texture tab, and doubleclick the texture in the window, and search for alpha - if you dont have one, let me know inworld, and I'll drop you one.

The transparancy thing in the tab, that you can turn up and down, only goes to 90% transparancy. You can make things ghostly, but not invisible.

Good luck!
