the page looks alright in Firefox but not in IE

manish

Hi, My website is a joomla powered website: http://www.pradhanmanish.com.np
and i am loading a .php file from another server and displaying it on
my website as a module. While Firefox displays it correctly with a
transparent background, IE shows a big white box instead of being
transparent. The problem lies in the front page at the right side of
the home page. Can anyone please suggest some fix for this problem??
Thanks in advance.

Your answer will lie in CSS rather than PHP

It's obviously a CSS issue. You're inserting an <iframethat doesn't have
any background property set for the <bodyelement. Your IE defaults to
white and your Firefox defaults to transparent.

more specifically
element.style.f ilter = alpha(opacity = 69); for IE
element.style.o pacity = "0.69"; for firefox

or the fancier -moz crap

But that's beyond the scope of the article,

I just found the answer;

The ALLOWTRANSPAREN CY attribute, used with the IFRAME element, must be
set to true.
In the IFRAME content source document, the background-color or BGCOLOR
attribute of the BODY element must be set to transparent.

The BGCOLOR attribute can be applied to the BODY element, but it is
deprecated as of HTML 4.0. It is recommended that you use the
background-color attribute instead.

<BODY STYLE="backgrou nd-color:transpare nt">

<IFRAME NAME="Frame1" SRC="frame.htm" ALLOWTRANSPAREN CY="true">
</IFRAME>

Thanks anyways.
