Question
I'm trying to nest a frameset in an iframe and I can't get the background of the frameset to show as transparent in IE. Firefox displays correctly.
Here's the iframe:
<iframe src="frameset.html" name="myframe" width="500" height="500" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
And this is Frameset.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<frameset cols="21%,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="no">
<frame name="menu" src="test.html" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize="noresize" frameborder="no" style="background: transparent" allowtransparency="true">
<frame name="main" src="test.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize="noresize" frameborder="no" style="background: transparent" allowtransparency="true">
</frameset>
</html>
Solution
Still no one has any sort of answer... except that IE is so utterly broken as a browser engine. Even today with IE8 and IE9 coming out soon. I hate IE. I wish all users would dump it for a real browser like Firefox or Opera.
OTHER TIPS
I've recently learned that IE browswers have a non-standard code for iframes: allowTransparency="true"
Put this in your iframe and set the style background to transparent and you should be fine.
