Menu with transparent background

[Haze]

HI All,

I want to put a menu/list overlaying an image, and although I can do this on the graphic itself and placing the list in the appropriate position is there a simpler way to do it?I could of course extract the part of the image to be overlayed and alter its transparency and use a the background image of rhte list... but thought there might be a better way to do it.

Cheers
Andy

Not sure I am quite following you here.

Could you not just put the image in the bg of a div then put the menu inside this?

What I was going to do was just put the "transparent" section of the photograph onto the main background image and positioned the list over the "transparent" area. Presently using the list as a "class".

Cheers

If your menu needs to be 'transparent' over something, then you could just set its background as a transparent png? Or is that not what you're after?

At the moment I've incorporated a semitransparent layer in the background image. This semitransparent layer functions as the background to the list..... just got an issue with the list item markers I've used now... lol...
I just thought there might have been a better way to do things.... but it seems to be getting there... eventually.

Here is an image of the issue.
