Hey, im new to the forum, but have a problem with a site im working on that i cant figure out for the life of me...the address is: http://www.geocities.com/soccerprodigy777

I have a flash video slideshow on the page, and also have drop down menus above it in the navigation bar...i got them here...the problem is that the flash slideshow is physically blocking the drop down menus when you roll over them (the 3 links on the right are the ones containing the menus). How do i fix this? any help would be great. Thanks.

I managed to get the dropdown menu to display properly....now, as an added effect, i was trying to make the cells of the menu transparent...i used this code
opacity:0.4;filter:alpha(opacity=40) to the CSS defining the cells...but it affected not only the cell, but the link text as well...which was not the goal...so how do i add the opacity to the cell itself?

You might need to explicitly define the text as having 100% opacity

Inline it would be...

<span style='opacity:1.0;filter:alpha(opacity=100);'>Text</span>

Though you should leave CSS out of markup (i.e. move it to an external file).
