View Full Version : Transparency with Netscape.

I build build my website and test it for IE. I recently noticed that my transparent iframe was not transparent on Netscape but instead held a white background. I wasn't really concerned because it was still viewable. But after a recent layout change this white background has turned into a bright blue one which does not work at all with my green themed layout. Does anyone know any fixes for this problem. I would like to make it transparent for everyone but I'd be over joyed just to have that white box again!
Thank you for any help and suggestions!

I don't believe you can make things transparent in Netscape - any transparency codes are specifically IE only. There is an opacity one, which works the same way as the opacity code for IE, I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing that you want though.

The only fix is to make a "real" transparent iframe - where the section of the background image behind is set as the background of the iframe (i'm assuming this is the sort of thing you're doing)

There is no way just to make that box white again as opposed to the awful blue it is now?
Well what is the opacity code?

What did you do for your box on the right? Because that one's transparent for me in Netscape, yet the other one is not.

the one on the right is not an iframe... just a div...

yeah, probably the only way to do it is to cut out a piece of the page's background image, and set it for the background on the iframe.
