<IFRAME NAME="framename" SRC="page.php" frameborder="0" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true"></IFRAME>

in the loaded page:
<body style="background-color: transparent">

pretty sure you cant make your scrollbar transparent at all, but if you had to have it that way, you COULD put scroll="no" in the body tag of the loaded url and make a custom scroll bar.

:confused:
allowtransparency? sounds like a proprietary method, theres nothing like that in the standards i believe?

besides you cant make an iframe transparent, it displays another page inside of it, how would that be clear? maybe i misunderstand.

and as far as the scrollbars, i found this by searching the forums for "transparent":

Also...
I don't think IFRAMEs can be transparent in IE5.0. Just FYI... :)

JonT, how's the weather down in PHX? :thumbsup:

ie 5.5+ only.

the only reason a windows user would not want to use ie 6 is just to be a difficult *******... people need to conform, for the sake of our tortured souls.

I think its a public service to redirect their browsers to microsoft.com's download page, don't you?

does anyone account for css effects that arent supported by ie?

If someone does, it aint many...

What sucks about IE? I cant find one point of suckage.

I'm looking, too...

no suckage.

there would be alot to go into, lets take a few CSS2 specs.

a[href="http://www.example.com/"] { color:orange; }

this would color any anchor with the specified value, orange, this is way beyond IE.

also :hover pseudoclasses in any element are part of the CSS2 specs, wont see that in IE either.

try going to w3 website and looking at some CSS2 specs, and running them in IE vs. moz

I'm gunna risk taking this further off topic (as if that were possible) and say this: The advice that a novelist might give to a budding writer is "write what you know." Besides, when the masses use IE, IF i make something cross-browser, i like to use IE as a starting point, for the masses, and let other browsers see a crappiness and blah version of it. Honestly if i hear another "rah rah mozilla, cuz its different... and IE smells" rant, i'm gunna barf, but i respect browser preference... i'm just not gunna account for it :D

Anyway to answer JonT's Q, i found this ref... i'm almost sure theres one or two things missing from this chart but, here it is. In some cases, things arent supported cuz IE stupidly decided to make their own IE-only version of it, not defined in css.

i was just kidding because jkd could prolly tell you more about IE flaws than i could :D

anyway, no there isnt anything wrong with IE, just doesnt support technology that it should, and i learned this much just from using the browser.
my opinion of course
