I upgraded from 1.6 to 1.7. I have pretty much got the guestbook to look like it did in 1.6 except - in 1.6 I had my background as fixed. In 1.7 the background seems fixed for the whole page but when I scroll the messages, the background of that part is not fixed (it scrolls with the messages). I can't seem to find where to fix this.

Hallo John,

In the style.css file in your template folder, try changing

Code: Select all

body{margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(images/tarten2.jpg); background-attachment: fixed; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#003399;}

to

Code: Select all

body{margin:0; padding:0; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#003399;}

If no background is assigned to the page in the iframe, it will be transparant and show the background of the page which contains the iframe.

Greetings,
Henrie

Thank you Henrie for your time.
I tried as you suggested (you can see the result) and I looked at the iframe file (no experience with java script) and could not see anything that seemed to be assigned to the page.

groetjes, John

Hallo John,

As you can see the background of the page is fixed now.

Only in the commentboxes there is still a background assigned. To also have this transparent you have to change the style.css file in your templates folder again.
Find:

Code: Select all

.gbook_commentbox{width:96%; height:auto; background-image:url(images/tarten2.jpg); background-attachment: fixed; margin:0 auto; border:solid 1px #CCCCCC; display: table; margin-bottom:20px;}

and change it to

Code: Select all

..gbook_commentbox{width:96%; height:auto; margin:0 auto; border:solid 1px #CCCCCC; display: table; margin-bottom:20px;}

Groeten,
Henrie

Henrie,

If this keeps on I will have to buy you a case of drinks

Again, did as you suggested (I only used one "." at the beginning of the code)

The guestbook is working now exactly as I had it with 1.6 ONLY - is it possible to have the white background transparent?

thanks, John

Hallo John,

Every browser shows the tarten2.jpg background, only Internet Explorer is not playing nicely.

Try changing the following code in your guestbook.html file

Code: Select all

<iframe id="myframe" src="GBook/gbook.php" marginwidth="1" marginheight="2" style="overflow: visible; width: 98%; display: none;" name="guestbook" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

to

Code: Select all

<iframe id="myframe" src="GBook/gbook.php" marginwidth="1" marginheight="2" style="overflow: visible; width: 98%; display: none;" name="guestbook" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"  allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Groeten,
Henrie
