I noticed something today:
i'm making a layout with iframes and i want to use the chroma filter but it doesn't make all the background transparent, specifically near the font. I tried changing the colors but with every color i have a small line around the font and it makes my font look bold.
Any ideas how to go around that?

chroma filter is used for making certain parts transparent. If you just want the whole iframe to be transparent you don't need the chroma filter :) (unless you want the scrollbars to be transparent)
so in your iframe:
AllowTransparency="true"
on the pages in the iframe:
<body bgcolor="transparent">
or
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { background-color: transparent; }
-->
</style>
that should do the trick. Chroma filter makes the font show up bold in some computers. I have that too :) there's nothing to do about it, other then taking out the chroma filter. Some people see it, some don't.. my pc doesn't show it, my laptop does. Very weird things :P
p.s: i might be wrong though about your question! correct me if i am ;)

that transparent trick only works in IE :( it's an IE only code.

i came upon this thread:

pb&j replies with a way to makeit translucent in most browsers. If you change the opacity to a very low number that might work :) Don't know for sure !
