I have a legacy website using frames. The pages within the frame do not use a white background and hence, I get an annoying ‘white flash’ while the pages in the frames transition. I think this can be fixed by changing the background color of the <frame>, but no matter what is entered, Internet Explorer will NOT see anything but white. Firefox appears to accept the background color, but not so with IE.

NOTE: please don’t flame me on using frames — I know; heck, I think I’ve even preached it a time or too … lol…

  1. I found this, rather obscure, piece of information;

    Notice the **AllowTransparency** attribute — That did the trick — now, the RightBackground class can set the color as expected. Without the attribute, the color stays white (#ffffff), regardless.

    Reference can be found here: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/tagpages/f/frame.htm

    <frame  allowTransparency='true' class='RightBackground' src='BottomRight.asp' marginheight='0' marginwidth='10px' name='BottomRight' />

    Just FYI, the contents of RightBackground just sets the background color:

     <style type='text/css'>   .RightBackground   {      background-color: #EAF4D9;   }  </style>
