Transparency fill

In previous versions of Photoshop if you had a selection you could hit the delete key and the selection would be filled with transparency.  When I do that in PS CS6 it brings up the fill dialogue box and I don't see any transparency fill options.  Anyone know how to do this in CS6?

    You need to double click the background layer first to make it an ordinary layer.  Then you can Shift Delete to erase to transparancy.
