I frames and Transparent background HELP!!

nosblends · 11:43 PM

I'm very frustrated.
If any webpage uses allowtransparency="true" inside their iframe tag, and the

HTML Code:

body style="background-color:transparent;"

tag for the src of the iframe, my internet exporer displays it in a way that makes it impossible to read. As far as I can figure out, the text is shown, but whatever the background of the src page is, is also shown a little bit around the edges of the text as well, making it blurry and block-like.
I'm so confused.
I've tried resetting my defaults, playing around with my internet options, and other things but nothing seems to work. I know it's an IE problem because the same thing doesn't happen with foxfire.
If anyone knows whats going on or could offer some advice my mind would like you a lot.
This is what it looks like:

If the background-color of body is transparent, then you need to set a background-color for the html tag and you should not assume that it will be white or any color.

Code:

<head>
<style type="text/css">
html {
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #000;
}
body {
    background-color: transparent;
}
</style>
</head>

allowtransparency is not a valid attribute for the iframe tag. You should not use it and should not expect it to work in all browsers. If you want the background of the framed page to be a certain color, you should set it in the source of the framed page.

I was just wondering why my browser is the only one that does it. For my site, I don't code it like this...ever, but other site do, and on my IE it looks like that. My sister has the identical computer, and her's doesn't do it. It's just frustrating to read, thats all.

Is the OS winXP. ClearType could be enabled and making things look funny in that situation. I don't use IE, so I'm not sure.
