crazyguy_2k · crazyguy_2k's Computer Specifications

Hey thought ill give a little tutorial

Transparent Iframe

Place this code to where u want ur Transparent Iframe to be:

<iframe src="URL OF FIRST PAGE" FRAMEBORDER="0" width="NUMBER" height="NUMBER" name="IFRAME NAME" style="position:absolute;left:NUMBERpx;top:NUMBERpx;"
allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Now on each of ur subpages.. add this code:

<body style=background-color:transparent>

Thats all for a transparent Iframe

Transparent ScrollBar

1. place this code in. (it is an IFrame)

<iframe src="welcome.htm" FRAMEBORDER="0" width="NUMBER" height="NUMBER" name="stuff" style="position:absolute;left:NUMBERpx;top:NUMBERpx;" allowtransparency="true" style="FILTER: chroma (color=FFFFFF)">

2. change the "FFFFFF" into another hex code color if other parts of your layout is FFFFFF. it must be a color that you didnt use for your layout.
3. now go to your css sheet and put FFFFFF (or the color you chose) in the place where you would like to be transparent. here is an example of:



and now your done! wasnt that easy?

Hope that helps anyone!

if you use Microsoft Front page though

you will have to make the sub domains and then open them in notepad and paste

<body style=background-color:transparent>

in , becuase for some reason frontpage dont like it and just deletes it

but it werks

Front page is NOT a good idea ... its coding is terrible ... see me for a 'lone' of Dreamweaver Matt, and then see what you can do.

Frontpage isn't too bad - Dreamweaver is generally better though

Dreamweaver is great for complex coding and for more advanced users (if you use iframes and coding, as you are). Frontpage is ideal for people who don't know what they are doing though

Well when i used the iframe on geocities and the page builder, i just left that part out i kept it within the script but never filled andthing in or took anything out!

then once the script is inserted make the blue box thingy which contains the script the size on which u set the iframe to be and just use that as a template to where on the page the iframe would go.

hope it helps!

Nice, This is what I was looking for.

But how could you load with a link or hotspot an other page into the iframe?

So far so good for a transparent IFRAME.

However, I have a slightly different need. I have created an IFRAME, but the text inside the frame is very long. So, I wanna have a scrollbar inside the IFRAME. I tried the scrolling=true option but even then, I don't see any sing of the scroll bar. The only possible means to scroll down the text is to drag the mouse.

Could you tell me how to modify my code so that even though the IFRAME becomes transparent, the scrollbar remains visible?

I am using IE and I have no problem if this feature is compatible only to IE.
