Spry Horizontal Drop Down Menu

[Webkil]

I just created a spry horizontal drop down menu and have a transparent
background on the main menu. The transparency is there with all browsers except
IE. Wondering if anyone knows the problem.

Thanks

First thing you should do is to update to the latest version of Spry which is Spry 1.6.1. Install the updater:
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/go/labs_spry_download[/url]


Or grab the files from the Spry download package, I think that they are in there:
[url]http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html[/url]

Or pull directly from:
[url]http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css[/url]
[url]http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css[/url]
[url]http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js[/url]

Also, there's a forum dedicated to Spry, so it would be better to be asking Spry questions there:
[url]http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid=72&catid=602[/url]

Regardless, you should post a link to your page, as it is quite common to need to look at code from many of the files that comprise the final page your visitors receive.
