Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to make a control panel of an embedded object transparant, and if so, could you let me know how it is done?

I put a piece of music on my web site earlier, with a control panel to adjust the volume, start/stop etc.
The problem is, I have also put a Christmassy background on the site and the white area around the control panel makes it look somewhat untidy.
Here is the code I used for the embedding:

If anyone knows a solution to my problem I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance.

this should work

Thanks for your reply, sonesav.
But I'm afraid it has made no difference.

Thanks anyway.

that code did hide the player on my test. can i see a link to your page?

Sure,
it is http://www.vlaanderen-flanders.org.uk

On the opening page, click on "English" (I assume that is what you wil want to read), and on the next page, click "News" on the menu, which is where the music file is.

Thanks.

I checked out your code on your site




style has no value thats probably why. worse case i think if you assign values of 0 to height and width it will hide it lol. or else you can always try assigned the style attribute to the div tag I'm sure it can work there also. if that still dosent work you can always move that div -100 px out of the screen or something.

I don't know how that is possible.
upon inspection of my code I get this:

Just like you passed it on.

Weird.

you definitely need a : in between style="display:none"

make sure its like this


if that still dont work try


The first seems to work for me on my local server. maybe its just my broswer rendering it incorrectly and allowing any errors to pass. I'll check again

I see, I had indeed missed the colon out.
However, when I did slot it in, the panel was gone, but so was the music.
You see, what I meant was, around the panel there is a white square that clashes with the background.
I do prefer to have a panel where people can turn the music off if they like, or adjust the volume.
What I did ask, really, was whether you could make that panel and its surroundings transparant, so that the background comes through.

Thanks.
