Not sure if this reply is far too late but I think the following line in a CSS might solve the "transparent" look for the iFrame...

...
filter:alpha(opacity="35");
...

This is only a suggestion by the way as i'm pretty much a beginner...

Yeah, it's an annoying and paranoid action, since it doesn't actually protect anything, and the code it's protecting is common. What can you do, though? Some people like to learn from other for free and hide their knowledge afterwards.

doesn't work in IE5

made with frontpage, hmmmm

the converting the code to javascript rubbish is ok to hide your source but if anyone uses the site with javascript disabled they see nothing.

LOL. Found those too. Curious indeed. Thanks for the quick replies, Suzanne.

Interesting, yes.

Not sure where the other files are hiding, as those don't seem to be in the source (which I got to by saving the page in N7, you can also use Page Info in N7 for some interesting bits and bobs.

There are two stylesheets, but they are practically identical. Curious!

I checked the CSS files but don't see the images/background.gif file that it is pulling. (Bad me.) Got a 404 on it actually. Yea, was aware that the effect only works in IE. It doesn't show in NS either. Thanks again all.

It's an illusion, the background is set in the CSS. As are the scrollbars. It only works in IE/PC, though. I cannot see the effect on the mac.

Indeed great one on the view/source HAHAHA...

But I don't really get the problem either, ImGellin?

ImGellin — Mon, 17 Feb 2003 18:54:04 +0000

I guess what I can't immediately put my finger on is how the semi-transparent look was achieved in the IFRAME with the scrollbars as the same color. You can still see the background image coming through. The background image is not on the page pulled in by the IFRAME. Thanks for the quick response too. Yea, the JS Error is pretty entertaining, I agree.

Suzanne — Mon, 17 Feb 2003 18:49:24 +0000

? Not sure where the confusion is, the background image is on the page, the iframe is on the page. ?!

The viewsource is very entertaining, though. Error, ha ha, whatever. And I'm sure the point of using a JavaScript obfuscator is just to annoy people.
