Iframe Color

David,

Appreciate your help. Here’s a link to one of my draft portfolio pages with a lightroom generated gallery in an iframe. The LR gallery is generated with a black background. I’m still seeing the white div as it loads just for an instant.

still seeing some white rendering

Thats why I suggested you to look at the direct link to the Gallery page - not in the iFrame - in case it is evident there as well and a quirk/setting of the Gallery that was causing it. Have you a link you can post?

Glad it is better anyway.

No need I see it is item3 - just checking that the bg color was applied properly.

Might be worth trying background-color:#000000

No idea if it will make any difference.

Just check something else will you Bill - unrelated.

There is a graphic http://billmccarroll.com/gallery/hdr/resources/misc/shadow.png which doesn’t display. Is it OK your end?

Hi Bill,
There are two things I can think you can do to get this to work
although they are both hacks;

  1. Use CSS to hide the iframe and then show it using JavaScript when
    the content has fully loaded.
    For example;
    http://www.freewayactions.com/test/bill-mccarroll/

The problem here are that if the user has JavaScript switched off then
the iframe will never get shown.

  1. The other possible solution (I’ve not had a chance to try this) is
    to create the smallest web page you can possibly make (the smaller the
    Kb size the better) with a black background. Add to this a meta-
    refresh tag so that after 0 seconds the iframe loads the real gallery
    page.
    Like this;
<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://billmccarroll.com/gallery/hdr/ 
" /><style type="text/css"><!-- body { margin:0px; background- 
color:#000; } --></style></head><body></body></html>

Now load this into your iframe and hopefully while the gallery loads
the browser will display the black background in this ‘stub’ page.

(The purists amongst us will have noticed that the HTML in my minified
page above doesn’t validate. This is my tradeoff for attempting to
shave a few bytes from the file. the smaller it is the quicker it will
load and the less chance you’ll see the white container of the iframe.)

All the best,
Tim.
