iframe Background image

restule · 08-29-2007, 02:36 PM

I'm working on a gallery for a site using an iframe to display images from thumbnails and would like to load the image directly into the iframe with the same background as the page, so transparancy would be ideal, except i cant add html code for that into the image, and I do not want to create an individual html page for each image with a background. Does anyone know a method to make this work, maybe adding code into the link itself or some code to add to the iframe? maybe css if nothing else?

Maybe you could use anchor tags, so it loads a certain anchor and only shows one image while the rest remain hidden?

If that sounds crazy, its because I don't quite get your question.. could you rephase?

And you really shouldn't use iFrames, those are no longer up to snuff in web design and they are frowned upon in the book of web standards.

Ahhh, Iframes?! I would suggest another way using CSS.
