hey, i'm just really annoyed my words aren't showing up.

Code ::
<a href="main.html" target="MyIframe">home</a>

Iframe Code ::
<iframe src="main.html" height="400" width="450" name="MyIframe" style="filter:alpha(opacity=30)">

Maybe it has something to do with the mouseover?

<style>
A{cursor:hand;height:1px;behavior:url(linkhilight. htc);filter:progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.grad ientwipe(duration=1)}
A:link{color:#000000; text-decoration:none;cursor:"nw-resize"}
A:visited{color:#FF99CC;text-decoration:line-through;font-weight:none}
A:hover{color:#FFFFFE;text-decoration:underline overline;background-color:none;font-weight:none;cursor:ne-resize}-->
</style>

It could be that the opacity for the iframe is too low..just try changein it to 50 or something and see if it helps...if not could you post a link to the page or the full source code please? :)

No, sorry Starlet its not the opacity. This was happening before. Even when i didnt have the Iframe transparent.

This may help a bit...

Find this part

scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF;

A{cursor:

And change it to this
scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF;
}
A{cursor:

Find this part
}
-->
}
-->
And delete it.

Then take that entire CSS part and move it up into the HEAD area instead of the BODY area.

Once that is all fixed, if there is still a problem, it is probably in your table setup.

nope, the words still arent showing up. i did everything you said. But what was that supposed to do?

OMG this is so annoying. I can't figure out whats wrong [well, of course I can't]

What do you mean by Table setup?

You have a very extensive table setup. With all the rowspans and colspans, but it all adds up equally at least. If they have a value of 1, then you can delete the property since 1 is default.

You also have to include the PX or PT setting for your font style.
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="272">
<tr valign="top" align="left">
<td><img src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/c.gif" height="1" width="108"></td>
<td><img src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/c.gif" height="1" width="104"></td>
<td><img src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/c.gif" height="1" width="5"></td>
<td><img src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/c.gif" height="1" width="55"></td>
<td><img src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/c.gif" height="1" width="1"></td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<td colspan="5" height="40">&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<td height="17"></td>
<td rowspan="3" width="104"><!-- Iframe :: Link -->
<iframe src="main.html" height="400" width="450" name="MyIframe" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50);"></td>
<td colspan="3" height="17">&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<td height="82">&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td height="82">&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td width="55"><span style="font-size:14pt;">LInk<br></span><a href="http://no"><span style="font-size:14pt;">LInk</span></a></td>
<td height="82">&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<td height="5">&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td colspan="3" height="5">&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

And a last note, your color setting in the css section should have the # infront of them. The space coding is in the empty table cells. The values of properties should be quoted.

Also, could you please specify again, exactly which words are not appearing and where? I see an Iframe with words in it, a paragraph of words behind/right of the iframe and some words kinda to the left of the iframe.

how did you get that?
I mean the table setup...I have absolutly no dea what ur taking about whe you say PX or PT. haha, I'm not that advanced.

And and the wods you se behind the Iframe are part of the layout. THe words I'm talking abut are suppossed to be on the right of the frame, they're supposed to be the navigation.

see?
<td width="55"><span style="font-size:14pt;">LInk<br></span><a href="http://no"><span style="font-size:14pt;">LInk</span></a></td>

and I linked that link to something, but something must've screwed up and changed it to something, screwed up.

Whats this &nbsp; ?

The red parts are the things you should add.

The table layout is taken straight from your source coding from the link you provided earlier in the thread.

The PT or PX specifications in the FONT values are required. Without a setting type, the viewer does not really understand how big or small the text should be, thus the possible non-seeing of your text.

&amp;nbsp is the code to enter a space. If you have empty table cells, they should have "something" in them so they do not collapse and kill your layout.

ok now I'm completely lost. I'm sorry, I tend to cause alittle stress in people when it comes to HTML.

Where do I find this code? Do I put it in my body sectionand edit it?

...I have a headache

whats this?
<td><img src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/c.gif" height="1" width="108"></td>

I didn't put any clip art on my page.

The coding I have been referring to is seen when I choose VIEW SOURCE on my browser task bar. The coding for your page is then displayed in my text editor.

Can I take a wild guess... Are you using an "Easy Page Builder" or are you using an "Advanced Text Editor"?

If you are using and easy pagebuilder, then most of this is probably irrelivant. That may also be the reasoning behind the complex table design that doesn't do much of anything.

I couldn't tell where the links were supposed to go (top, bottom, left or right of the iframe?), so here is a sample with links on the top and bottom of your iframe.

<html>
<head>
<title>Swirly_VrsPink1</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color : #FF99CC;
background-image : url(http://www.those-who-wander.net/~niki/wallpaper.gif);
background-repeat : no-repeat;
background-attachment : scroll;
font-size : 7pt;
font-family : Tahoma;
letter-spacing : 2pt;
line-height : 15px;
cursor : crosshair;
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-highlight-color: CCCCCC;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: CCCCCC;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: CCCCCC;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color: CCCCCC;
scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF;
}
A {
cursor:hand;
height:1px;
behavior:url(linkhilight.htc);
filter:progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.gradientw ipe(duration=1);
}
A:link {
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:"nw-resize";}
A:visited {
color:#FF99CC;
text-decoration:line-through;
font-weight:none;}
A:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color:#006666; filter: blur;
height:0px;}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>

<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center">
