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.
