    Default Transparent BG in DW popup menus?

    Hi, Using MX04 Does anyone know how to get a transparent bg? I messed with the
    "this.menuBgOpaque=opq;" in the .js file. It looks like the one but a numerical
    value did nothing. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris

    Hi Chris, I just figured out how to do the transparency.

    If you go to the .js file and find the line (line 159 for me):
    var dTag = '<div id="menuItem'+ countItems +'" style="position:absolute;left:'
    + itemLeft + 'px;top:'+ itemTop +'px;'+ itemProps +'">';

    change it to:
    var dTag = '<div id="menuItem'+ countItems +'"
    style="filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;position:absolute;l
    eft:' + itemLeft + 'px;top:'+ itemTop +'px;'+ itemProps +'">';

    .25 indicates that only 25% of the menu is visible, .50 is 50%, .75 is 75%,
    etc.

    Hope this helps,
    Barb

    Hello Barb,

    I'm having the same problem with transparency in a pop-up. Your suggestion
    didn't work for me. I'm testing it in Firefox and IE6 and all that happens is
    it darkens the background color. Any more suggestions?

    Thanks for your expertise!
    Dennis
