transparent color - background image.

Hello.

In a html document, that use some internal frames (iframe, frames)
How can I make from the main page (that includes all to frame) to have a
background-image, and that all subframes will not cover that background with
some color
(their color is trasparent) ?
(I meant : Is there was something in CSS :
bgcolor: ... transparency-color ?).

Thanks

As far as I am aware, a frameset (your "main page"?) is just a
structural artifact that holds the frames themselves. In other words, it
does not have much of a life of its own, it is like a mother who lives
for her children and not much else. All instructions to it are about how
to lay out the frames, it is all about the selfish frames.

And the frames themselves have their own canvases which cannot be
transparent as I understand it.

The canvas is a sort of transcendental object higher/more basic than the
html root. Some theologian types think they can be transparent but in my
opinion they are simply confusing "transcendental" with "transparent".
These things are quite different. Theologians often make these idiotic
blunders even as they speak with great seriousness in highly educated
voices in the wake of very expensive and extensive education.

So no, you might have to settle for giving specific backgrounds to the
frames themselves and if you want some continuity, you will have to
design that in carefully. If you say about what you want more
specifically, perhaps I can give you some more tips.

In the meantime, if you want to read an early draft to a book I am
writing, The Selfish Frame, please ask.
