Is there any way to make this column transparent on the page by about 70%?

.leftcolumn{
width: 80%;
float: left;
background-color: #CC0000;
text-align: left;
border-right: #FFFFFF;
border-left: #FFFFFF;
padding-top: 4px;
{

Just i'm a bit stuck and was hoping someone could advise.

Kind Regards
Tim

filter:alpha(opacity=70);
-moz-opacity:.7;
-khtml-opacity:.7;
opacity:.7;

You need all four for it to work cross browser.

Just a quick correction, you want } at the end, not {

.leftcolumn{
width: 80%;
float: left;
background-color: #CC0000;
text-align: left;
border-right: #FFFFFF;
border-left: #FFFFFF;
padding-top: 4px;
}

better

I don't think this is required for modern/current versions of Gecko-based browsers (Mozilla, K-Meleon, etc).

Peace...

You are right as of Mozilla 1.7 it's just opacity. Although including -moz-opacity doesn't hurt and there may be a few users who haven't upgraded.
