Q: I need a dhtml drop down menu with a transparent background for the menu and the submenues.

How can I define this.

A: You can set the following parameters:
  var menuBackColor="transparent";
  var itemBackColor=["transparent","transparent"];

You can set transparency for submenus using the following parameter:
  var transparency="70";



Q: You will see I got the first level looking amazing.. this is exactly what I wanted. The interesting thing I figured out was not to use the item border.. this was messing things up. You may notice that when each item highlights.. there is a 1px white line at the separators.. but this is not produced with the item border, but rather from the separator itself which I made in two 1 pixel lines, one blue, on white.. this created that effect.

So now my only problem left is to figure out how to bring this look into the submenus. I was thinking it would be nice to use the separators in the same way throughout the submenus. There does not however seem to be a way to do this. When I tried inserting a separator into a submenu.. nothing happened... I am probably doing this wrong.

Can you please show me how to create the same look I have in the first level in the submenus.. this would be helpful.

I must say, this menu is finally starting to look the way I originally envisioned it. I am very happy. =o)

Thank you so much for all the help you have given me.


A: To add separators in submenus you should write it so:

 ["|-",] //first level submenus
   ["||-",] //second level submenus
and so on.

Try that.
