Hi everybody
I have created a table with TR's and TD's
- within the td's i've got IFRAMES
- within the IFRAMES I reload every 5 sec. with content text taken from a database.
All this works fine.

------------------------------------
THE PROBLEM
------------------------------------
The problem is that i've got transparency on the IFRAMES set to (opacity=70) which also works fine, but when one iframe is reloading the transparency on the other disapears and becomes nontransparent, even though they are in different td's.
Why is that?

-------------------------------------
Description:
------------------------------------
Here is 1 one the IFRAMES on the main page.
the content of this iframe are defined in gaester.php
(the second IFRAME (refering to problemdiscribtion in the beginning) are simular just refering to a different .php, name and id). See below.

<td height="300" width="229"><IFRAME SRC="gaester.php" name="gaester" width="229" marginwidth="0" height="300" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" ID="Frame2" allowTransparency="true"></IFRAME></td>
----------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------
gaester.php
- this is where the content of this iframe is made.
- The BODY sets the background transparency.
- The text is provided from a database, this is done by the doc. <? include "random-tekst.php";?>

<HTML>
<head>

</head>

<link href="../Stylesheets/onlineinfo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<BODY STYLE="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=70)">
<? include "random-tekst.php";?>
<? echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='5; URL=gaester.php?previousid=" . $thisid . "'>\n";?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
---------------------------------------------------
To see my problem i action - see this link - (www) aakv.dk/onlineinfo-aakv/reception/1024x768.php

I know there is a lot of text here, but I didn't know how to explain it otherwise, I'm sorry :)

best regards Sallow

I've solved the problem by upgrading to internet Explorer 6.0.

That's it. :)

Thanks for letting us into your problem-solving process. I have little experience with those proprietary IE "extras" and couldn't be any help - but I'm glad you've added that information to the knowledge base here.
