Here I am again with a problem!
I'm using the son of suckerfish menu.
First problem, of transparency background in the menu was solved
thanks to some good advise from the list (never mind that IE doesn't
seem to support png-24 format).
The menu functions ok, but now that I added content and the menu is
opening over the content, I can't access the opened part that's on
the content. The menu closes as soon as I hover to the part of the
menu that's above the content. I thought I could solve it with
z-index and bring the menu on top, but either I'm doing something
wrong, or then it just doesn't work (FF).

Advise greatly appreciated.

I only observe this in Firefox. In IE6, all menu items and sub-items are
visible, although it has other issues (see below). In FF, moving below the
second menu item in each main menu group causes the menu to go away. Opera
functions as expected; all menu items and sub-items are visible and
selectable.
That said, you have more serious issues, IMHO, in the distracting and
unattractive flashing of the menu as the cursor moves over it (IE6, probably
due to the alpha filter), and in the fact that your transparent menu items'
text is unreadable due to bleed-through of the text below the menu (FF and
Opera). Perhaps you might wish to use a different solution. Menu
transparency is not necessarily a high-desirability characteristic, since
the user attempting to select a menu item clearly does not care what exists
behind the menu; he's on his way elsewhere anyway. Consider ditching the
transparency.
Cheers,
Scott
