Cannot beleive this site is no longer working in Firefox but anyway..

How do i give an ifame a background colour?

Im using the following

<iframe id="myframe" src="../fred/embed/?CategoryID=9" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" style="overflow:visible; width:750px; display:none"></iframe>

You can't. That's controlled by the background of the page that is being framed. The only way you can control it through an inline style tag is if the background of the framed page is set to transparent.

an iframe is just a mini window that displays a web page. it is not a web page itself and so cannot be customized like that.

just give the web page the background color you want and it should be pretty much the same thing. or what Eriksrocks said which is just as good. maybe better.

Thanks for the information Guys!

As I didn't want the page background coming through on the background of the iframe I just placed the iframe in a div with the coloured background that I wanted and it works fine.
