iframes and IE

Has a workaround been found for this issue? I've seen some discussion of this
topic, and I've tried all the answers, like wmode="transparent".
Works fine in Netscape and Firefox, but not on IE 6 (win) and IE 5.2 (mac). It
also acts really weird in Safari. I've never worked with iframes before and
this project was done by a contractor, who is on a week long vacation, so I'm
lost at sea.

I don't know what problem you're trying to solve. Since you're talking
about wmode and transparency, I'll take a guess that you want the page
background of the parent page to show through in the page loaded into
the iframe. Is that close? If so, try adding this to the page that is
loaded into the iframe:

<style type="text/css">
body{background:transparent}
</style>

ok, I was hoping that there was something I could do on the parent page,
because the contractor is away. your solution would be something that the
contractor has to try, as the pages are on his server. here's the piece of
code: <iframe

amp;alt=http://www.devonandjones.com/images/product/D100.jpg&amp;
color=COLORCODE' width='310' height='725' scrolling='No' frameborder='0'
wmode='transparent' > <img src='../images/product/D100.jpg'
width='278' height='392' /> </iframe> thanks for your help, Gary. I'll let you
know what happens.
