Couple of things I’d like to resolve

First Thing – Transparent Menus

I’d like to modify the template so I could have semi transparent dropdown menus – to the initiated this is simple but to someone who has no programing knowledge – I need a mentor!

Second Thing – Bold text in dropdown

I don’t like this – The main menu has bold text and SO DOES THE DROPDOWN
I would like to see the dropdown having normal text because it lessens the importance compared to the main menu and hey that’s what I want! OK!

Third Thing
The text margin for the dropdown choices SHOULD align with the PARENT – It doesn’t in jaKulanite its to the left! – How can I resolve this?

Thanks for reading – I’m using Joomla 1.5.7 with JAKULANITE and my site address is http://www.spareparts.ie

I hope somebody has the know how that I don’t posess hat can help me solve these problems:)

Thanks in advance – Bat

please edit ja.cssmenu.css (line 121)(/templates/ja_kulanite/ja_menus/ja_cssmenu/ja.cssmenu.css)

#ja-cssmenu li ul a {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0 !important;
border-right:medium none;
color:#AAAAAA !important;
font-weight:normal;--> add this line
height:auto;
line-height:normal;
margin:0;
padding:7px 10px;
}

you can change ja.cssmenu.css (line 121)(/templates/ja_kulanite/ja_menus/ja_cssmenu/ja.cssmenu.css)

#ja-cssmenu li ul a {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0 !important;
border-right:medium none;
color:#AAAAAA !important;
font-weight:normal;--> add this line
height:auto;
line-height:normal;
margin:0;
padding:7px 10px;--> change 10px as you want
}

I changed it back to the original CSS as the code you gave me was causing some errors or I didn’t follow your instructions correctly

No matter

No that is not the case – I’m an amateur with a couple of kids and a 9 to 8 job – I don’t have a lot of time – I’m looking for a very quick answer that just works ‘ Out of the box’ but I do realise that help from members here can only go so far and it is appreciated – thanks anyway
