[css-d] Getting Rid of White Background
I am trying to port over a menu I have on the main part of my site to a page that is outside the site template. But in adapting the css so the menu text is white I seem to be having a problem with IE6/7. It is showing the whole block as white (the text is there but it, too, is white (which is what I want) and the links are working). I've tried commenting out all indications of colored backgrounds in any menu nav element (the menu that appears on the rest of the site has a lot of background: #fff;) but that doesn't seem to help. I don't know where that white background is coming from. Can anyone tell me? The page in question: http://inourpath.com/map/maps2.html To see the original menu scroll to the bottom of this page: http://inourpath.com/intro.html Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

You're trying to comment out CSS style rules by adding a #, which is
illegal and would make more confusion if browsers interpert it as ID
style-hookers! If you want to comment out a syle rule or one of its
declarations do it in the form:
/* property: value; */
In particular you have this in your CSS:
#nav_map .current a { display:block; height:20px; float:left;
#background:#fff; padding:0 10px 0 10px; text-decoration:none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: .85em;
font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: none; line-height:20px; letter-spacing: .10em;
white-space:nowrap; #border-right:1px solid #fff; color: #fff;}
Such code is really problematic and before you clean it up, I really
can't help to figure out where the real problem lies.

FYI: IE/win interprets '#background:#fff;' as 'background:#fff;', so the
# is not disabling the property in _that_ browser.
The addition of...
ul, a {background: transparent!important;}
...will of course override all instances of white background on the
relevant elements - as a temporary solution.

Thanks Georg. That did the trick.
