All Levels Navigational Menu (v2.2) Transparency

[penny]

1) Script Title: All Levels Navigational Menu (v2.2)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...menu/index.htm

3) Describe problem:
I would like to add transparency on the drop down menu. I have tried adding
opacity:0.4;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
to .ddsubmenustyle, .ddsubmenustyle ul classes in ddlevelsmenu-base.css but it doesn't seem to work.

Can you recommend what I should do?

Thanks!
Penny

Try adding to the .ddsubmenustyle li

.ddsubmenustyle li a{
display: block;
width: 160px; /*width of menu (not including side paddings)*/
color: black;
background-color: lightyellow;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 4px 5px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
}
