HI, I am new here and for 2 days of searching this forum for the exact and accurate answer to my question; I have come up with nothing. So here I am asking you guys, I already know how to make my iframe transparent, but I do not want it totally transparent I want the background color to be seen but yet transparent. I hope you understand what it is I am asking.

You can use the opacity filter, but it'll also turn your text opaque as well.

In the page's CSS, you'll put this in there [right now, the values are set at 50% opacity]

opacity: .5;
filter:alpha(opacity=50);

For it to work in Firefox, you need the top one, and it can only be set to a decimal value. The filter [second one] is for the opacity to work in IE. That one is set like a percentage, just without the % sign. As well, because IE is a little goofy, you have to have a width and height set on the page so that the filter works.

thanks Bourdelson, I will try that out today.

You're welcome. Hope it works. :)
