Add allowTransparency="true" to your iframe

<IFRAME ID="Frame1" SRC="whatever.htm" allowTransparency="true">

For whatever.htm add background:transparent to its body tag.

<body style="background:transparent">

So i have this iFrame with the class .transparentbg:
```
.transparantbg{
    background-color: transparent;
}
```
This works fine in Chrome, but not in IE...

Help please?

Yes, live with the fact that a very small percentage of your users will see a white background instead of a transparent one.

If anyone is seeing further issues, I'm finding that in IE8, when an existing iframe changes it's source, the html tag within it must be styled as well.

appears IE9 doesn't require the allowTransparency="true" part.
