transparent backround for iframe?

[lisabella3686]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to have an iframe with a transparent background so that I don't have to crop my background and place it in each of my pages. If you have any other solutions, those would be appreciated..thanx, Lisa


here is my site as of now

http://lisa.infocentre.net/flash.htm


just ignore the flash, it's a work in progress...scroll down to the "click"

In the document that is going to load the Iframe include:

allowtransparency="true"

in the opening Iframe tag.


In the document to be loaded into the Iframe include:

STYLE="background-color:transparent"

in the opening BODY tag.

U may like to refer to this website's layout as well.

cby.niira.net isn't exactly a transparent iframe. although it looks real nice in IE, it fails miserably in Mozilla/Netscape6 once you start scrolling. Why didn't they use a background-attachment:fixed on the framed page?

allowtransparency="true"

wtf??
where dyou put that in?

[kansel]

you have it in the right place. unfortunately IE doesn't recognize it. it looks excellent in netscape7 though. I don't know the way around this in IE though.

What do you mean I have it in the right place?

allowtransparency="true"

In the opening Iframe tag

Your window is a fixed size of

width=986,height=703

This is no good for 800 x 600 resolutions

sorry about that, shlagish. I thought I was replying to the originator of the thread.

this page has the allowtransparency="true" in the right place, as an attribute to the iframe tag.

So it sounds like all you need to do is put what Mr. J said to put into the document, in your case doane.htm, this:


Mr. J

In the document to be loaded into the Iframe include:

STYLE="background-color:transparent"

in the opening BODY tag.
