transparent background in framesets

**sarafina9876** · 11-16-2003, 07:21 PM

Hi,
I've been searching everywhere but couldn't find a solution. I really hope someone here knows...
my layout contains a transparent iframe and 1 of the pages in the iframe has 2 frames, top and bottom. The top is for the flash menu, the bottom is the targeted html pg. Both of these frames are transparent but when i put them together in a frameset they have a white background....is there such thing as transparent framesets?? I've tried allowtransparency="true" which does nothing,and <body style="background-color:transparent;background-image:none;"> (my frameset inside here)</body> which wipes out the whole page.

here's my frameset page
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>dollz</TITLE></HEAD>
<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0"
rows="60,*"><frame name="menu"
target="main" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" src="top.html" ><frame name="main" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
scrolling="auto" src="main.html" target="_self">
</frameset></HTML>

Thanks, i'd really appreciate any advice.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

The iframe is not transparent, but the document inside it should be.

Try adding

HTML Code:

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

To the document thats inside the iframe.

thanks for the quick reply!
i just tried it and the whole frameset page became clear.
here's the code for my framesetpage which is inside the iframe.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>small dollz</TITLE></HEAD>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-color: transparent;
}

<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0"
rows="21,*"> <frame name="menu" target="main"
scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
src="dollztop.html" >
<frame name="main" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
scrolling="auto" src="dollzmain.html" target="_self">
</frameset></style></HTML>

what i meant was the even the contents..images and text disappeared =(

Hi,

you missed out the </style>, thats why its all disappeared.

Also, the code needs to go in the src of the frames, not the frameset page. By the src, I mean dollzmain.html for example.

hi, my site is now at

http://s88077848.onlinehome.us/dollzsite/dollzhomepage.html and like i said before, the 2 individual frames are transparent already using<body style="background-color:transparent;background-image:none;"> alone
but i tried it your way using the bottom page in the frameset
....i wasn't sure where to put the code so the first try i put it before <body> and </body></style> then i put it after the <body> like this:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>dollzmain</TITLE>
<style text="text/css">


A:link
{color:#33ccff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;}
A:visited
{color:#3399ff; text-decoration:line-through; font-weight:bold;}
A:active
{color:#33ccff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;}
A:hover
{
position: relative; left: 2px; top: 3px;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
-->
</style>

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

<style type="text/css">
A:hover
{
position: relative; left: 1px; top: 1px;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
</style>

<base target="_self">

</HEAD><body>

<--! EDIT-------------------------------- -->
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-color: transparent;
}
<--! end ------------------------------->

<p> </p>

http://s88077848.onlinehome.us/dollzsite/dollzhomepage.html

the frameset pg is under "regular" the first page is what i altered, if you click on "2"in the menu, you'll see the frameset with a bg i made

**QuietDean** · 11-17-2003, 02:05 PM

Hi again,

both links give me "error 404: File not found"

I would like to see the page if possible. Remember, I am not so sure we can even do this

**sarafina9876** · 11-17-2003, 02:09 PM

Hi Dean,
it's http://s88077848.onlinehome.us/dollzsite/a.html
but i've basically given up on this...someone did tell e that they don't think that it's possible.

**QuietDean** · 11-17-2003, 02:55 PM

Hi,

the bit with all the text in, thats transparent. Am I missing something?

**sarafina9876** · 11-17-2003, 03:02 PM

that's not a frameset page neither is the "animated" link,if you click on "regular" it will take the iframe to a frameset page ..in this case it's dollzsmall. Dollzsmall is divided into 2 frames top=menu bottom=for display. All the 6 pages in this "regular" frameset are not transparent once it's in the frameset. BUt outside of the frameset, the top and bottom are transparent.
