Transparent menu items in Firefox?

The menu_data.js has a default opacity setting for the overfilter property (overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=90);Shadow(color=#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)";), which works nicely in Windows, but apparently not in Firefox, on my computer anyway. Is it supposed to? Is there any other way to create a similar effect in Firefox?
Perhaps the latest version of Firefox? (I'm using v 1.5)

Hi,

You might want to look at this topic, and also at the link provided in my response there which gives a much more indepth explanation of things.

They are proprietary to Windows, it's the coding for the windows filters and transitions.

You can apply opacity for FF and other browsers through css and calling it using the offclass="opaque";onclass="opaque"; in the menu styles.



Not sure about the first one if it's for Safari only or other browsers besides FF, NN and IE. The second is for IE and I'd recommend you leave it out since you have the overfilter and outfilter codes actually in the menu for IE. The last is for Mozilla and applies only to Mozilla browsers.

I named the class opaque and would call it in the menu styles using what I noted above. However you can name it anything you want

You need to experiment to see the best level, the .5 I believe is 50%
