Spry Menu Bar, Adding Submenu Border and Submenu semi-Transparent background

[ravennaweb]

I would like to add a border only to submenu's and also I want to add a semi transparent background...

Any idea which css tags I need to edit for this?

Thanks

Are you able to provide some context?
Some HTML code and some CSS code that you are working on so that we can take a look.
Cheers,

Sorry, wondered if I would have to do this...

Here is the HTML

<div class="top_menu">
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="#">Home</a> </li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Portfolio</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" title="Residential Projects">Residential</a></li>
<ul>
<li><a class="" href="#" title="Project 1">Project 1</a></li>
</ul>
<li><a href="#" title="Conceptual Studies">Conceptual Studies</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Industrial Projects">Industrial</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Commercial Projects">Commercial</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>

<li><a href="#">Menu 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 5</a></li>
</ul>
</div>


Now the CSS:
