Hey guys. Im maken a site for a client of mine and im very new to the professional web design. Before now it was all trial and error for learning HTML and what not. Now I dont have time for error.(I'll be on the guest list for every one of there concerts for doing the site  )
here is a site that has what I need. I tried reading the source code and trying to work from that but I just cant get it. I need to know what to do.http://www.lamcore.com
You will see that in the frame with all the text, when you scroll the background does not move and that is a realy nice looking feature. Now I figured out what the code was called I think. ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" But I cant seem to figure out how to use it. Here is my clients site that I made fast and I want to spiff it up. http://www.aperfectdisaster.cjb.net
So I need to know how to make the "centerframe" have a background of my choosing to stay idle and have everything scroll.
Would be much much appretiated since this will give the site the look it needs. Also a background but that can be done later... im just going and going 
Somebody save me! Last edited on Sun Feb 6th, 2005 03:08 am by Distortion

<BODY background="band.jpg" leftmargin="0px" topmargin="0px" marginwidth="0px" marginheight="0px">
<img src="band.jpg" usemap="#band" border="0">
<map name="band">
<area shape="poly" coords="240,0,222,68,330,98,334,80,310,82,300,4,284,0,240,0" href="lama5.html" target="asdmain">
<area shape="poly" coords="302,2,318,0,412,0,420,70,312,82,302,2" href="news.html" target="main">
<area shape="poly" coords="382,78,384,88,492,74,490,62,456,54,468,2,416,6,422,70,384,78" href="resume.html" target="main">
<area shape="poly" coords="570,2,556,74,458,54,470,0,570,0" href="contact.html" target="main">
<area shape="poly" coords="540,72,548,100,628,84,638,80,636,0,570,10,558,76,542,74" href="links.html" target="main">
<area shape="poly" coords="7,403,1,418,77,432,84,419,11,403" href="preload1.html" target="asdmain">
<area shape="poly" coords="84,417,87,436,222,434,218,415,87,417" href="preload2.html" target="asdmain">
<area shape="poly" coords="230,410,231,427,297,431,298,414,232,409" href="preload3.html" target="asdmain"></map>
<div style="position: absolute; top: 424px; left: -9px;">
<iframe FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER=0 width="640" height="200" src="lama5.html" name=asdmain scrolling=no ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true"></iframe></div>
<div style="position: absolute; top: 105px; left: 47px;">
<iframe FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER=0 width="591" height="295" src="news.html" name=main scrolling=auto ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" style="FILTER: chroma (color=F16861);"></iframe></div>
</body> |
the text is simply in a scrolling layer with 'transparency'.
this allows the body background image 'band.jpg' to show through.
look at this page without the fixed window size...it may help --->
lamcore.com/lama2.html
got it or need more help?

dis!
you need to do the following:
---change your index.htm page iframe code to this:
[allow transparency]
<IFRAME id=centerframe name=centerframe marginWidth=1
marginHeight=0 ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" src="index_files/news.htm" frameBorder=0 width="100%"
height=300></IFRAME> |
---change your index.htm body tag to this:
[add an image to the background]
| <BODY background="index_files/news_files/bg.jpg"> |
---change the news.htm [and all others] body css to this:
[make it transparent]
BODY {
SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #1d1d1d; FONT-SIZE: 10px; MARGIN: 0px 10px; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #2d2d2d; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #1d1d1d; COLOR: #b4bfaa; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #1d1d1d; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #030303; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #000000; background-color:transparent;
} |
---remove all of the background colors of the table rows on the news.htm page.
that should do it.
here is the result:
