Please could anyone tell me if one can reliably set the background image for an iframe to be the same as the page that holds it? In other words have a single background image across the whole page including the iframe. You can see what I'm trying to do in http://www.duesouth.jp. I want the "Home" iframe to have a transparent background (i.e. you can see the compass) but the other menu items to show a light blue colour - which works OK. It seems to work work the way I want it in Safari but in IE you get a horrible green colour.
I've been getting quite a lot of hits on my site from this thread so it seems a fair number of people are interested in this question. I did eventually find the answer which is simply to use <iframe allowtransparency="true"> combined with <body bgcolor="transparent"> in the inner page. Old (5.0 or less) versions of IE display a rather horrible green colour, but otherwise it seems to work fine.
Unfortunatley, ive had the same problem myself, your best bet is to make it a solid color. When you change the window size it will move the background image and make it uneven. And it varys by browser and by resolution. If you find something please advise me, its a touchy situation.

The allowtransparency=yes works fine in both FireFox & Internet Explorer. See the example I gave: www.phew-scotland-respite.org
Changing the Window size has no effect.
