Hi,

I suppose this issue is a combination of javascript and css. I know it’s been well documented all over the place about the need to allowTransparency on the iframe before IE will recognize a background:transparent; element. I’m using the greybox overlay script which works fine but I think the way the platform I am using renders the content, it’s not coming out the way I intend it to. I also think the amount of JS scripts that are being used is maybe messing each other up. Anyway the link below will show you what I am taking about. If anyone knows how I can make the white page background transparent in the iframe in IE it would be appreciated.

If you open that page in IE you’ll notice the white page background inside the overlay. I’ve spent 2 days trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong.
