I think I have the basics of it down (yay for forum searching! *butterchurns*) But I have one question...Is there any way to make scroll bars transparent so you can see the image? I mean, by filtering the chroma and everything. I tried it before, and it just showed the whole page background instead of the Iframe.

Take note your site is not going to be compatible with browsers besides IE5.5 and above if you use the codes. Yes, you use chroma filters.

I know, I know ^^; but that didn't really answer my question...more looking for a way to make the image to show instead of the background color

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean about the image thing...?

But go here (http://www.jennyspage.net/transscroll.html) for the code.

er, yeah, I guess I was a little vague on that...What I meant was- say you have a page with a solid color background, but you're using Iframes, and that Iframe has a seperate background- like an image. More specifically, in this case it's a table on a blue background that has Iframes made out of an image. What I want to know is, is there any way to get the scrollbar on the Iframe to be transparent so you can see the image background on the Iframe, and not the one for the page the iframe is linked off of?

hm. that's closer. but with that one you can see the page's background, and not the background of the Iframe. they're just the same image =p but isn't there a way to get it to just show the Iframe background and not that of the page itself? blargh..guess not.

just add a background to the page that opens inside the iframe itself?

not sure what you mean there ^^; the page I'm using the scrollbar is an iframe...should I just make an iframe inside the iframe? (oooh, trippy...)
