    Default Background colour transparency issues.....

    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:
    Code:
    .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.

    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);
