Background colour transparency issues.....

[rcnutterz]

Hi guys,
I have set an image as the cart background to match in with my forum and changed the column background colours to match as well.
i am having a small issue whereas on the forum the background colours are transparent slightly so you can see the background image so i have set this in the stylesheet on the cart to suit.
However...............
it works fine in firefox:


but in IE7&8:


here is the code used the stylesheet as an example:

.centerColumn {
background-color: #c8cace; opacity:.90;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0 25px 25px 25px;
}

i have searched and tried a few different things but to no avail.
any help would be appreciated.

We can't help with this kind of problem with only a pic to look at -- we need the site URL.

IE dose not use opacity but uses Filter opacity . value applied for IE is different then opacity value for Firefox or other browser .
you may want to add this to your CSS rule and see if it helps with IE


filter: alpha(opacity = 90);
