Hi,

I am doing a slight redesign of my website, and I am having a small issue with part of my navbar background.

URL:  
[http://www.ycw.ie/newsite09/](http://www.ycw.ie/newsite09/)

I want the left hand-side part of my main navigation bar to be “transparent”, i.e. I wish to have the part that is on the left hand-side of the yellow “About us” item, with a white background. (see attachment)

I have tried several things but without success.

Would anybody know how to do that?

Thanks in advance for your help.
