Can someone show how to make/use a transparent top menu bar ... example that I would like to create is the graphic here at http://jayjaynet.com/dev4/images/1.jpg

The gray bar at top and bottom is transparent where you can see the background beneath it. When I make a transparent image, of course, it is transparent and never appears over the top of the background. I'm assuming there is some other way to accomplish this like means creating a partially transparent image over the top and then placing menu options over the top of that image that.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can do this in two ways (at least).

1. Check www.fokaibalik.com and study the menu div. I created a translucent image in Photoshop that I used as div background under the menu.

2. You can use any image and set the transparency in the css, play around with the 0.4 and 40 until you have the transparency you want.

That worked fine, Inger. Thank you!
