iframes and transparency

[geek_grrrl]

Hiya,

I'm experimenting with iframes for the first time and can't figure out how to get the background of my iframe transparent (so that users see the background graphic on the page the iframe displays on).

To check out where I'm at see:

http://www.jetsupport.com.au/scb/html/whats_on.html (the page that contains the iframe) and http://www.jetsupport.com.au/scb/html/whats_on_iframes/january.html (my iframe content file).

If anyone has any clues I'd be mightly greatful.

I checked on NS6+ browsers and it shows the background image,,,
try using inline CSS for the iframe and set the background image property to the image you want it may work for IE

Hey Khalid,

I feel a bit uncomfortable doing that as I get the feeling things won't quite line up and it will be messy.

Does anyone else know how to set the background of my iframe to transparent. I tried to follow these instructions from Microsoft but got really really confused - http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/allowtransparency.asp
