iFrame - Transparent background.

[gsb]

Is there any way to make the background of an iFrame (object) transparent?
The iFrame is in a 'floating' DIV and I want the underlying HTML page to
show through as a background.

Thanks,

gsb

If you use a background image that is a PNG with an alpha channel I
suppose it works fine. Style:

background: transparent url(background. png) repeat;

Nope. Doesn't seem to work.
It's like the iFrame sets up a canvas: you can paint on it all you want to
but you can not see through it.

<iframe src="qwe.htm" width="250" marginwidth="10 " height="250
marginheight="1 0" scrolling="auto " allowtransparen cy="true
style="position :absolute; left:50px; top:50px"></iframe>

a script like that should work just fine

It works in working UAs, even without the image. It does not work
either way in IE.

For IE, you need to put the IFRAME as child of a block element, say a
DIV, format this and the formatting will be inherited by the IFRAME.

BTW: You are off-topic, try comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.stylesheets
