How to make background transparent with javascript

ketting00 · September 9, 2011, 2:46am

Hello all,

I’ve used the bellow snippet to create the dummy iframe, but it look ugly, and I want to make it transparent, I can’t find solution through Google

shimmer.style.background=‘#000000’;

BWT. without a background color, the dummy iframe will not appear

Thanks in advance

Try:

shimmer.style.backgroundColor = 'transparent';

That assumes that shimmer is a valid reference to the body element of a document.

This works on all browsers but Firefox. Why

Remember Firefox has a default white background, but if that’s not it, how do you get the shimmer reference?

I get it from here:

I try to overlay a java applet with a dummy iframe to display a dropdown javascript menu.

OK, I found it.
Here’s the solution:

shimmer.style.backgroundColor = ‘rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)’;

Thanks for your help
