The EASY way to make FireWorks dropdown menu translucent!

[Murray *TMM*]

What bold text? I see no bold text on NNTP.

Be aware that translucency is not fully supported on all browsers....

all of the 16 steps that the

us go through. No hard feelings, because I know it DOES work, but I think
it's too much work.. :)

What bold text? I see no bold text on NNTP.

My apologies, I was not aware of the fact that newsgroup users where using these forums (I just come in to post a topic that might help other people, I'm not a -frequent- user of the forum).

The text that I made bold was:

filter:alpha(opacity=75);

Sorry to be off-topic, but where did you get those great images, particulary
the main image on the home page?
TIA
