Just a quickie, it would be nice to add some subtle transparency to some suckerfish dropdowns i have... whats the simplest javascript to go about this?

If its too much hassle and bloat then I won't bother, but I currently have a massive white dropdown over some lovely colourful images which looks dull as shite, being able to just make them out would be a design bonus.

Or I could just use this simple CSS:

doh.

I'll ask this question here as it relates to transparency... it n=may be a stupid q but here goes

If I have a png logo thats inserted into my html page can its transperency for IE still be defined in the css? If not how can I go about it?

You can fix PNG transparency using the IE7 javascript pack... although I think there may be a cleaner more updated way of doing it now?

Fix PNG's in the page:

Fix PNG Backgrounds:

*html div.item
{
	background-image: none;
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='bg.png', sizingMethod='scale');
}

You will have to add a line in the CSS to z-index all interactive items (a, input, textarea etc.) up a level, IE behaves funny otherwise

Haha, yeah, I can never remember the name or the syntax without looking it up.

Conditional comments:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
@import url(ie.css);
</style>
<![endif]-->
