Hallo zusammen,

bastele gerade meine erste Website mit mäßigem Erfolg.
Ich habe der sidebar in Hintergrundbild zugewiesen und möchte darüber die Menüleiste legen, so dass der Farbverlauf des Hintergrundbildes beibehalten wird. Kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich das hinkriege? Den bisher geschriebenen Code stelle ich hier ein:

[CODE][//* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, a fixed width box with no margin or padding */
ul.MenuBarVertical
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 1.0em;
font-weight: normal;
cursor: default;
width: 10em;
border-top-style: none;
border-right-style: none;
border-bottom-style: none;
border-left-style: none;
bottom: 0px;

}
/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive
{
z-index: 1000;
}
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarVertical li
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: 10em;
background: transparent;
}
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
{
margin: -5% 0 0 90%;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 75%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1020;
cursor: default;
width: 13em;
left: -1000em;
top: 0;
color: #1238b9;
background: transparent;
}
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to 0 so it comes onto the screen */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
{
left: 0;
}
/* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul li
{
width: 13em;
background-color: #dde5eb;
}

/* Outermost menu container has borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarVertical
{

}
/* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
{
border: 0px solid #1238B9;
}
/* Menu items are a light gray block with padding and no text decoration */
ul.MenuBarVertical a
{
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 0.5em 1.5em;
color: #1238B9;
text-decoration: none;
}
/* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have a blue background and white text */
ul.MenuBarVertical a:hover, ul.MenuBarVertical a:focus
{
color: #1238B9;
font-size: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
}
/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to MenuBarItemHover with a blue background and white text */
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
{
color: #1238B9;
}

ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
{
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0% 50%;
background-color: #fff;
}

/* Menu items that are open with submenus have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenuHover and are set to use a "hover" background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover
{

}]
