A few changes…

No the transparent still not working…

That’s twice you answered something before I asked!!! So great minds do think alike!!! ??

For the menu item background (or any background), if you want some color, but not a lot, you can also use an rgba value like this:
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .1);
The first three values again refer to red, green, and blue, but you have to use regular decimal values instead of hex. Values range from 0 to 255 (which is the same as FF in hex). The last value is the opacity (or transparency), which can range from 0 to 1. A value of 0 is totally transparent, while a value of 1 is totally opaque. 0.5 would be half transparent. You can think of the last value as a percentage, so 0.5 is 50% transparent. The example I have above would be a white color, but only 10% opaque, so you can see some of the background showing through. Just something you might want to play with.

For a value of transparent, you need to leave off the pound sign (i.e, it’s not supposed to be a hashtag):
color: transparent;

Do I copy that in place of the background: #000;.
I’m a little confused on this one

Oops, sorry, yes, that should be background, not color for both of my two previous posts. color would be for the text color.

Ok, that’s good… I took off the hashtag… I copied all your examples of the CSS color coding, so I can look at it at a later date… Thanks again so much, I wish you the best… Much gratitude…. ??
