Does anyone know how to make the background of an IFrame transparent?I have a background on my site with an Ifram over the top and I want to be able to see the background through the Iframe but dont know how to do it or if it can even be done!<br />
<br />
If anyone can help i would be really grateful!<!--content-->hi valhala_90...<br />
<br />
i'm not sure how far back this is supported but try this:<br />
<br />
allowtransparency="true" background-color="transparent"<br />
<br />
if anyone would like to test that to see which browsers allow it and which don't... please report back with that info.<br />
thanks...<br />
edit:I figured that I better edit this to avoid even more confusion and frustration than is sure to be experienced with this transparency thing to begin with:<br />
<br />
This is how it is "supposed" to work:<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe name="yourFrame" src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"yourFile.htm" allowtransparency="true" style="position:absolute; top:50; left:50"><br />
<br />
This goes in the iframe src file:<br />
<body style="background-color:transparent"><br />
<br />
I would definitley like to hear back from anyone who has gotten this to work for them (and which browser they viewed it on).<br />

It works in IE5! Ive been trying to figure that out for about 2 months now thank you!<br />
<br />
Did you already know that or did you find the script on a website?<!--content-->Did you already know that or did you find the script on a website?Actually, I was born with that knowledge (lol)<br />
<br />
no, but seriously... i was a spectator to a raging debate among 2 Russian programmers who nearly started throwing fists over this issue
<br />
(don't ask!)<br />
<br />
anyway... i've never forgotten it since then (although I have not used it because it does not seem to work with much consistancy across a wide range of browsers).<br />
<br />
so... which v5 did you test it on?<br />
<br />
oh... and just a quick fyi:<br />
you probably caused many people to spit milk out of their nose when you called me a genius
<br />
(but thanks anyway
)<br />
