It is a property which you should add in the 'options'-object (I'm talking OpenLayers lingua now, have a look at OpenLayers.org):

So, change this in osm.html:

             var osm = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM(
               "OpenStreetMap",
               "http://tile.openstreetmap.org/${z}/${x}/${y}.png",
               {
                 eventListeners: {
                   "loadstart": layerLoadStart,
                   "loadend": layerLoadEnd
                 }
               }
             );

Into this:
             var osm = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM(
               "OpenStreetMap",
               "http://tile.openstreetmap.org/${z}/${x}/${y}.png",
               {
                 eventListeners: {
                   "loadstart": layerLoadStart,
                   "loadend": layerLoadEnd
                 }
                 ,opacity:0.5
               }
             );

This should work :-)
