Please help! I am working on making an iframe, but the image I want to show in the background won't show up! I tried some codes out, but none of them work :( so if you know a code that will let me make a little iframe where the text scrolls on top of the picture that is the iframe's background, I would really appreciate it!

have you made a seperate page for loading into the iframe? The page that loads into the iframe can just have the background image set like this:
<body background="imageurlhere.gif">

Thanks! My host doesn't support files, so I have to use just an html advanced editor. I think I have an account at angelfire, though, which does allow individual files to be uploaded, so I will try making a new page there...I was planning on a total redesign anyway! I will try, though!

euhm, what you make with you editor is saved as an .html file, so it's a file. If a host doesn't supports files then you can't build a page at all :)
just make a new page called inline.html with your editor. Put the text and background on that page and save it.
Then go to your iframe code and add this to the code:
src="inline.html"
now it will open the page inline.html when you start up the page where the iframe is on

Yay! It all makes sense now! What I'd like to do with it is to have the frame show up on top of my image....like at my site that I have right now http://www.brooke.co.nr at that blue iframe thingy....I found a code where I can make the scrollbar transparent once I have everything ready, so I will make the inline.html with my text and a pretty background image, that I want to load on top of another corresponding image....I guess I'm trying to say that I want them layered.... :/ I hope this makes sense

I would like to add a dropdown menu in my page where the menu will stay showing, but what they click will show up below it. I think I may just have to edit the page where I want the dropdown menu, by putting the menu in a small frame across the top of the screen, which would be on top of a bottom frame. The links would then target the bottom frame. This page targets an iframe, so would I just target the page to the iframe, but let the page have its own frames?
