im not sure about this but try this...

on the pages with the stuff you want to show in the inline frame, get rid of all of the stuff inside the <head> tags. This then makes the document very very plain and simple HTML. I think that this might work because there is a document background element to it. the default is white so just delete all the <head></head> variables.

However, if you were to do a PHP include and embed a sort of inline frame this would be much more easier and also more appropriate.

HTML Code:

 alowtransparency="yes"

That would not work as allow has 2 Letter L's and its true not yes

HTML Code:

 allowtransparency="true"

That would work

You cant spell.

allowtransparency="yes"

In your head part:

Code:

<iframe name="iframe" src="mypage.html" width="50" height="50" allowtansparency="true"></iframe>

This goes in your css document:

Code:

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

another explanation could of been that the page he was directing to eg. home.php had a set background colour in this case remove the set background colour and have allowtransparency="yes" and yeh should work, css is a better way of doing sites nower days.
