In other words, the form's white boxes are invisible so the page background is behind the text.

You can get really close to what you are asking with CSS. Styles allow you to make "transparent" boxes etc. The box still has to be there, your users have to fill in the correct element or your form won't work.
Start with a couple of these "CSS" styling tutorials. It will really improve your HTML

You will quickly see why you need a little CSS with your HTML code.
Here is a full sample, I did steal if from http://www.quirksmode.org/css/forms.html
I just added "border:none;" to the input style! Take that out and see the difference. This also forms a nice "table" without any tables!.
Copy this into notepad, save it as an HTML file and view it. You will see there are no input boxes. It isn't easy to use as far as filling it out but it has no boxes! Play with the "border:none;" Click next to Name and start typing on the page!

With Javascript you can do that.
You need a form that has hidden fields and a Javascript that handles the writing on the background. Another Javascript is needed to put the text into the fields and submit it.
