Conundrum: Page won't validate if I use the bogus "allowtransparency" attribute for an Iframe. If I don't use it, IE renders the frame wrong. The person who's going to sign the check for this one likes IE.  The client hasn't asked for "strict" validation, but it's nice to have and may prevent headaches later. Has anybody ever gotten a transparent Iframe to work in IE without using non-compliant attributes?_______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Just thought of something, with XHTML standards as they are now (not sure if this is the type of thing you're talking about, as I used scrolling divs instaed of iframes, usually, unless an iframe is entirely necessary), you can't do this (example): <hr noshade> But you must do <hr noshade="noshade" /> So maybe if you applied the same to the iframe attribute (you simply repeat the attribute name as the value), then you'll get somewhere. Obviously you won't be needing to close the iframe tag as /> because you have a </iframe>  _______________ Website |

It still didn't work, but I'll keep that in mind. I never use regular frames--don't like them at all--but IFrame is very useful. The problem is that "allowtransparency" is a bogus tag in the first place. IFrames are supposed to allow transparency unless you explicitly tell the frame to have an opaque background. Other browsers render it like that, but IE makes the background opaque unless you explicitly specify IE's proprietary allowtransparency tag. It works okay but breaks validation--not a big deal, but kinda annoying when I go to check my work. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

What doctype are you using? If you're using frames, generally, you should be using neither the Transitional nor the Strict doctypes, but the Frameset doctype. You shouldn't have any problems then. If you are, well... I never use frames anyway (even iframes)  _______________ Website |
