...well it doesn't. My friend sent me this code.

<div align="center"><p>
<ilayer name="scroll1">
<div id="scroll3">
<style="border-color:#FFFFFF" style="border-style:solid;border-width:3"> <style="width:500;height:300;
background-image:url("http://www.radnetcafe.com/drgalleries/promotional_images/hppic13.jpg");background-attachment:fixed;
overflow:auto"
</style><b>hellohello</b>
</textarea>
<url src="www.google.com">just testing</div>

It's supposed to be an text area, kinda like an Iframe
that you can change the text color font and eveything
as u can see its....not working. So I'm just wondering
if this HTML code is real or messed^ or fake...or w-e3

<div align="center"><p>
<ilayer name="scroll1">
<div id="scroll3" style="border-color:#FFFFFF; border-style:solid;border-width:3; width:500;height:300;
background-image:url(http://www.radnetcafe.com/drgalleries/promotional_images/hppic13.jpg);background-attachment:fixed;
overflow:auto"><b>hellohello</b>
<url src="www.google.com">just testing</div>

style codes where as a seperate <style> code given, but you should add them together with an <div> like used above. Also no " in the url tag (http://bla bla bla.gif) and not ("http://bla bla bla.gif")

Above code should work ok. To change font color, size or face just add the HTML codes INSIDE the area, right before the text.

background image and border aren't showing up

Is the image on your host?

If you copied my code directly try putting url and the (url) part behind each other. The board makes spaces in it that could cause some errors in the code

<div align="center"><p>
<ilayer name="scroll1">
<div id="scroll3" style="border-color:#FFFFFF; border-style:solid;border-width:3; width:500;height:300;
background-image:url(http://www.radnetcafe.com/drgalleri...ges/hppic13.jpg);background-attachment:fixed;
overflow:auto"><b>hellohello</b>
<url src="www.google.com">just testing</div></div>

that above should work. The background did showed up at mine computer when i tested it. also fill in the whole url, this board makes the url shorten by putting "..." in it aaaaaand your border-color = white, so that might be it :) if your bg is also white then yeah you get the point.

ok, never mind...I don't know those DIV codes, I'll learn...eventually

ok new topic ---> is there a way to make a transparent text area?

don't add an bgcolor in it i guess

otherwise you have to use iframes, (search the forum for topics about transparent iframes) but that code only works with IE 5.5 and above. So it kinda stinks

about your reply:
hmm ok, whatever you want.
