iframe question again, pretty please?

[autumn whispers2me]

Okay, another iframe question: I'm trying to create a site with a similar design as the one I posted the link on before, the one with the iframe on top of the background in the table...

Can you guys tell me how to do that???? Pleeeease? lol

I have the image in the table sliced and the one where the text (iframe info) will be has the image set to background. So how to I implement the iframe where it doesn't put a background on top of the cell background??

Thanks.

to add the background to your iframe u just add an internal stylesheet to the page you r calling.

For example your iframe looks like this:

<iframe src="page.html" name="page" width="145" height="393" noresize frameborder="0"></iframe>

The above is calling upon the file page.html to add to your iframe, so the page.html would look like this.

<style>
BODY    {
background-image: url(images/frame2.jpg); 
overflow: auto;
background-color: #FEF7CB;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed; 
color:#800080; FONT-FAMILY: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px; LINE-HEIGHT:16pt;
}
</style>
<script language=javascript type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (top.location == self.location) {
    top.location.href = "index.html"
    }
// -->
</script>

Hope this helps

Also i added some javascript which i use when doing sites with iframes. Sometimes search engines will index your iframes and when a user clicks on a search engine link to your site they will be sent to the iframe and not the entire page. All this javascript does is check for this and will re-load the page if needed

thanks guys... not exactly sure how that works, but.... this is the effect I'm going for:

So Sean, does your code just place the text over the bg image? Yeah, I know... I'm totally lost as usual. lol

Aw man! I just realized something! I looked at that site again, and that bg image is ONE image, not a sliced one! Ugh.. I sliced mine. Shoooooooot.

I guess the benefit with no slices is that the iframe won't split any cells apart.

Shoooooooot! So should I change what I have to one image instead of a sliced one?

Confuzzed.

paste them back together in photoshop, LOL xD

[Sean]

if the image is not cut it means he is using a transparant iframe.

allowtransparency="true" 

[Fragalot]

... ok, that works 2...

[autumn whispers2me]

lol So I don't have to use just one image? Is one better than a sliced image? Thanks, guys. You rule as always.

[Sean]

both ways will work Autumn, but i am not sure if iframe transparancy works in all browsers, i could be wrong
