background color of frame page

[VB4fun]

expanding my html knowledge, and not sure this is do-able...

I have a frame page, nested top and left, with main activity changing in center....all of these pages have a colored background which is displaying correctly when the page loads..

However until all the pages load, I have a white background. So it looks like patchwork as each frame loads (with a colored background)

is there anyway to set the back color of the frameset ?

Have you tried using "bgcolor" for the frames ?

Else - look up the HTML 4.01 reference at www.w3c.org, search after "<frame>"

Thanks.

I tried the <frame> thought, but it is almost like it needs to happen a step before that....

Looking at the link you sent (thanks!) looks like I need to do it before the <frameset> with a CSS.

Just looked at CSS quickly the other day, and shy'd away since I thought they werent supported in all browsers.....(any thoughts?)

I will look at the CSS idea more later tonite.

thanks for the suggestions

CSS is definatly the way - I just thought you wanted to do it with HTML.

If you wanna learn CSS goto www.w3schools.com and take their tutorial.


Cheers!

From what I have seen, I would like to explore CSS and will look at the link....for the tutorial...

I just shy'd away from them...since I thought they werent supported in much other than...m$oft browsers....

was I wrong..?

[vbNeo]

Very wrong indeed - all browsers now a days have CSS2 support. and IE/NS 4 has CSS1, so don't worry about compatability.

Cheers!

[VB4fun]

Thanks for clearing that up !

now I will approach this from a new angle....(after some help from the tutorial I am sure)....



it may just be a good day after all !

Quite the opposite actually, the worst problem of CSS design is the number of bugs in the IE implementation.
