I think what your customer might be looking for (and consequently, what you are
looking for) is not transparent, but semi-transparent. If you make the
background completely transparent, you won't be able to see the menu and it
will be completely useless. However, you could make the background color
semi-transparent/opaque, allowing you to see the menu and also see what is
underneath it (like a lightbox type effect). Here is a cross-browser CSS
transparency solution:
.transparent_class {
background-color:#333;
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
-moz-opacity:0.5;
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;
opacity: 0.5;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";
}
This will result in a 50% gray opaque background. Hope this help Hans.
