Inputbox backcolor always transparent (Radcombobox and RadCalendar)

[Antigroove]

I am having trouble with what i think is a style inheritance issue. I have a form with Radcombobox's and Radcalendars in a table in a div layout. he div has a background image that im using

filter

 

:alpha(opacity=75);

 

 

opacity: 0.7 ;
to get a slight transpanency.

i am able change the backcolor of input boxes but i cant override the transparency from the layout div.( my last attempt below) i am using red just to demonstrate the transparency. if i use white(which is what i want) it is 100% transparent here is a link to the
Dev page i have also tried similar code on the table the input boxes are within. i have also tried to set te back color from the control it self. (i.e. backcolor property)
 div.RadComboBox_Office2007 table .rcbInputCell input

 

 {

 

background-color:red !important;

 

 

filter:alpha(opacity=100);

 

 

opacity: 1.0;

 

 

height: 15px !important;

 

 

line-height: 14px !important;

 

 

font: 9px arial,verdana,sans-serif;

 

 

height: 15px !important;

 

 

padding: 0 !important;

 

 }

 .

dateinputbox

 

 

 

{

 

 

height: 15px !important;

 

 

line-height: 14px !important;

 

 

font: 9px arial,verdana,sans-serif;

 

 

height: 15px !important;

 

 

padding: 0 !important;

 

 

background-color: Red !important;

 

 

filter:alpha(opacity=100);

 

 

opacity:1.0;

 

}

Hello,

I'm not exactly sure what are you trying to do, but if you're trying to set filter:alpha to a container and override it for its children - its not possible in IE, I'm sorry. Your best bet is to try making the RadComboBox PNG backgrounds with slight transparency and fallback to GIF in IE6/IE quirksmode.
