CSS transparency and HTML background image?!

Hi, I'm trying to make a cell with a background image and a CSS menu (multimenu) but I'm having some difficulty.

What I've done so far is resize the CSS menu to fit the cell and set it's background colour to 'transparent'. This appears to work and makes the menu background transparent.

The final stage is to set the background image of the cell to a certain image - this I've done, but when the CSS menu is in the cell, it doesn't appear?

Does anyone know how I can achieve this effect?

You can see the menu at www.cgenie.net

The block code is:

<td colspan="2" background="{$xoops_url}/themes/{$xoops_theme}/images/menubar_05.jpg"><{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}>
<{if $block.title == "navbar"}>
<{$block.content}>
<{/if}>
<{/foreach}></td>

This should work shouldn't it? I dunno if I've missed something obvious!?

hmm tried the first one, but it doesn't appear to make a difference...

The hardocde one works perfectly! Thanks for the tips!

very strange... any resident html gurus explain why only hardcoding works?

I think it is missing something:

<td colspan="2" background="<{$xoops_url}>/themes/<{$xoops_theme}>/images/menubar_05.jpg">

I just visited your site, I was on the simple machines forum you have and saw that the adress bar displays the session id.
Thought you should know.

hmm I can't seem to replicate this? What browser are you using?

Should I be concerned about the session ID being visible?

because you are using the XOOPS Codes wrong

you would use

"<{$xoops_imageurl}>/images/menubar_05.jpg"


no http:// that is implied
