Iframe

[Xa'al]

I'm looking for a way to make the background of an IFRAME transparent so that there is no background color or image for the IFRAME. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank-you,

All u need to know about that is here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/dhtmlrefs.asp

Of course, that page says it's a Microsoft Extension to HTML, so a no-go in NS/Moz.

there may be another way to do it. Hopefully someone will know.

I tried that and it didn't seem to work. However, I could be doing it wrong. Here's how I typed the code into my stylesheet:

IFRAME { background-color : sColor }
and then I tried:
IFRAME { background-color : transparent }

I also tried:

<IFRAME ALLOWTRANSPARENCY..........>
in the main tag. (The ...... are the rest of the code)

If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know.

I think the page that is containted by the IFRAME has to have the style property background-color: transparent for the body and the IFRAME has to have the attribute ALLOWTRANSPARENCY = true

.... any good reason why you can not put the content of an IFRAME into a DIV element??? This will make things easier and page HTML Strict compliant.....

Thank-you for your help, it works the right way now. In regards to the DIV, I'm trying to maintain an entire page to a fixed size, and scrollable frame. If I can achieve this with DIV, then it's my mistake.

Thank-you once again for the help.

<div style="overflow: auto;">
put content here
</div>

- this will give you the div element with the scrollbars when content exceeds the size that you specify
