| When using iframes to load a page within a page, I always get a white box before the page within the iframe is loaded. Is there a way to avoid the white box, and/or are there alternatives to iframes? |

| what would you expect to get ? that is how http/browsers work, you would get exactly the same behaviour in a standard browser window, just depends how long the page takes to load and whether it is buffered or not. |

| an iframe is a full browser window embeded in your page, not just a scroll box |

Is it possible to make the iframe an option for people? So that when they click on a "hide chat" link the iframe is removed? I have this code for it:
<iframe src="chat/chat.asp" name="chat2" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="90" height="20"></iframe> |

Problem solved ! I added this tag to the iframe:
ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" |

Yeah, but since the frame I´m loading in the iFrame has the same bgcolor, you can´t see it, so it really is invisible and without a white box.

wii, im using iframes also on a current project and with the..
ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true"
that makes it so the background color is shown until the page loads?

I haven't tried it yet, though.
That's actually a bunch of DIVS that get sized using javascript using a number of functions. The data is loaded from an XML file into an iframe (as a buffer) then sent to the div. |
