Transparent iFrame :|

Hello,

I have a transparent iframe with:

Code:

---

allowtransparency="true"

---

Now it works all fine and dandy in FF but not IE :| How would I do it? I searched Google but it tells me to put:

Code:

---

STYLE="background-color:transparent"

---

in my body tag. But if I do that it will screw over my current colour layout, besides, when I tried it my iframe still wan't transparent!! lol

Please help!!

You will fail. with iFrames.

Use PHP Includes or AJAX

Agreed.

I wanted to use PHP Includes but I don't think there is a way to limit their width and height?

The box, div or table width and height is editable?

the div is expandable but the Div wont expand with the include :/

You are a blight on WebDesign.

Edited by opensourcehost (Forum Moderator): Please don't be rude.

I want to be able to do this too..

I am making a site for a friend and they want to be awkward.

I used PHP includes but they moaned they wanted to have a scroll bar to go down with, so i need to make an iFrame transparent unless theres another way of doing it wihtout iFrames

Then it's coded badly, if I coded it, I'll fix it later.

I know, anyway, still need help ;)

I done this before, i think what i done was in the head of all the pages you want inside the iframe put

Code:

---

<style type="text/css">body, html{background-color:transparent;}</style>

Depends on what you want to do, iframes can be very useful.

However, PHP (Or AJAX) & CSS would be the best way to do a layout.

Got it to work Thanks :P
