    the page looks alright in Firefox but not in IE

    Hi, My website is a joomla powered website: http://www.pradhanmanish.com.np
    and i am loading a .php file from another server and displaying it on
    my website as a module. While Firefox displays it correctly with a
    transparent background, IE shows a big white box instead of being
    transparent. The problem lies in the front page at the right side of
    the home page. Can anyone please suggest some fix for this problem??
    Thanks in advance.

      Your answer will lie in CSS rather than PHP

          It's obviously a CSS issue. You're inserting an <iframethat doesn't have
          any background property set for the <bodyelement. Your IE defaults to
          white and your Firefox defaults to transparent.

              more specifically
              element.style.f ilter = alpha(opacity = 69); for IE
              element.style.o pacity = "0.69"; for firefox

              or the fancier -moz crap

              But that's beyond the scope of the article,

                  I just found the answer;

                  The ALLOWTRANSPAREN CY attribute, used with the IFRAME element, must be
                  set to true.
                  In the IFRAME content source document, the background-color or BGCOLOR
                  attribute of the BODY element must be set to transparent.

                  The BGCOLOR attribute can be applied to the BODY element, but it is
                  deprecated as of HTML 4.0. It is recommended that you use the
                  background-color attribute instead.

                  <BODY STYLE="backgrou nd-color:transpare nt">

                  <IFRAME NAME="Frame1" SRC="frame.htm" ALLOWTRANSPAREN CY="true">
                  </IFRAME>

                  Thanks anyways.

                      Then ditch IE.
