Hi,

I've replaced milonic_src.js, mmenudom.js and mmenuns4.js and now the transparency settings for http://www.tivall.nl are gone. This way the menu doesn't look good. Any suggestions?

regards,
Maarten

What transparency settings? You don't have transparent any place in your menu styles.

Did I miss something, John? I couldn't find any transparency set.

Just looking at the code. If he goes transparent that will put white text on a white background.

Also, you have AllImagesStyle listed in both the HTML and the _data file, each with different settings. You can't use the same name twice.

If you are talking about the blue color you see when the subs drop before the images load, you need to change the offbgcolor to offbgcolor="transparent"; this will make that show the page color while those images are loading.

If this isn't what you mean could you detail more what is happening?

I'm sorry I wasn't clear.
I mean the shadows that render in IE. They used to be transparent, but now they have a white background that's over the Flash part of the page.

Hi,

Unfortunately I'm on 5.5 and for some reason it will only show 1 of whatever is coded in overfilter in the menu. Not being able to see all of it, I can't test things. You might try lowering your alpha, or changing the color of the shadow, or removing it. It is a charcoal grey shadow so it will look dark on the edges and somewhat lighter in toward the menu. You can play with the filters and transitions at the demo. It's interactive.

You can also remove that portion of the overfilter code that has to do with shadow and eliminate it. I don't know what's changed because there was no report of anything being fixed with regard IE Filters and Transitions. However, sometimes something is not functioning correctly but isn't noticeable and when some small thing gets fixed in the menu it also fixes some other incorrect behaviour.

I don't know anyway to make the shadow transparent, it wouldn't be a shadow if you couldn't see it.
