I've run into a problem on my site that I've seen the result to before, but I couldn't remember what forum site it was in. I searched this one and couldn't find it, but I thought I'd give it a try and ask anyway. I use transparent Iframes on my site, and whenever I maximize my screen, the text shifts out of the Iframe completely. There's also another weird factor to throw into the mix. I made my site using Geocities (because I'm cheap) and whenever I click 'view' in my file manager, it looks fine, or whenever I've been updating using Geocities and I type in the address separately outside of Geocities, it looks fine. But when I sign on for the first time or when other viewers look at my site, the iframe is not properly aligned over the box that I drew on my background for my iframe section. My friend that I asked to look at it also has the same browser version and screen resolution as me, and yeah, my iframe keeps changing on me.. does anyone know what's up?

are you sure you use iframes as in <iframe> and not scrollable divs? because i haven't seen this before, because an iframe has an page inside so it's not possible that the text goes OUTSIDE the iframe.

can you show us the page where it's about? or some html you used? thanks !

Love,

Oh gosh I'm sorry! That was dumb of me not to post my site address. It's http://www.geocities.com/pastelsmurf16/index.html. I use your basic Iframe code placed inside the basic div code (feel free to view my source). I edited it this morning so it might be normal now, but before when other people would view my page they would say that the transparent iframe text box would be spilling over too far to the side of the box I drew on my layout (if that makes sense). It was like the positioning was changing more than the iframe itself. The weird thing was that it always looked normal on my computer, even when we both had the same 800x600 resolution. Weird, huh?

And now my Iframes are frozen! AHHH!

try this:

<html>
<head>
<title>*Dirrty</title>
<style>
BODY
{ text-decoration: none; color: #DFAA7B;}
a:link { text-decoration : none; cursor: nw-resize;
color : #DFAA7B}
a:visited { text-decoration: none; cursor: nw-resize; font-family:verdana; color: #DFAA7B;}
a:active { text-decoration: none; cursor: nw-resize; font-family:verdana; color: #DFAA7B;}
a:hover { text-decoration: none; cursor: nw-resize; font-family:verdana; color: #B86F2E;}
</style>
</head>
<BODY BACKGROUND="http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/sugarflames/aguilerabackground5.jpg" bgproperties="fixed">
<p align="right">
<iframe src="http://www.geocities.com/pastelsmurf16/updates.html" name="main" border="0" frameborder="0" width="275" height="341" scrolling=auto allowtransparency="true" id="name" style="position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 377px;" align=left></iframe>

<table style="position: absolute; top: 24px; left: 300px" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top"><font face="verdana" size="1"><br><br><b><a href="http://www.geocities.com/pastelsmurf16/inline.html" target="main">[x]</a></B>Me<br><b><a href="%%next%%">[x]</a></B>You<br><b><a href="/index.html">[x]</a></B>Site<br><b><a href="/older.html">[x]</a></B>WWW<br><b><a href="/rings.html">[x]</a></B>Contact<br><b><a href="mailto:youraddy">[x]</a></B>Gbook<br><b><a href="http://blah.signmyguestbook.com">[x]</a></B>Previous<br><b><a href="http://diaryland.com">[x]</a></B>Next<br><b><a href="http://angelfire.lycos.com/stars4/sugarflames">[x]</a></B>Home</font></td><td><tr><td style="border: 1px #B86F2E solid;"><div id=cdiv style="height: 339px; width: 275px; overflow-y: auto"></div></td></tr></table>

</BODY></html>

also you should OR make the background bigger, OR let the repeat stop because it looks kinda annoying.

Hope that was what you where looking for. If not let me know

Love,

Thank you so much!! That was what I needed :) I saw what you meant about the background being annoying when I maximized it.. I'm going to work on changing that next. I just wanted to say thank you - you were my safe haven on my first post regarding Iframes as well :)
