Sorry... Small typo in my last post. Try this: Replace this in your style sheet: div.sitemap ul { padding: 0em 0em .2em .5em; margin: 0px; float: left; border-top: .35em #0000aa ridge; list-style-type: none; /* FF2 and Opera (1x1 Black PNG at 80% opacity) */ background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAZiS0dEAP8A/wD/oL2nkwAAAA1JREFUCNdjYGBgOAMAANEAzdAP7DMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=); /* FF3 and Safari; CSS3 syntax support */ background: rgba(0,0,0,0.8); } ...and add this to your HTML for IE: <!--[if IE]><style type="text/css"> div.sitemap ul { background: transparent; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#DD000000,endColorstr=#DD000000); zoom: 1; } </style><![endif]--> Again...hope it helps. --Bill -- /** * Bill Brown * TheHolierGrail.com & MacNimble.com * From dot concept...to dot com...since 1999. ***********************************************/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
