iFrame transparency?

Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I'm attempting to place an iframe in a page and make both the frame and the scrollbar transparent. The problem is that when I do so, the text becomes shadowy and almost impossible to read, like the text on this site:
http://nadine.fan-arts.net/lits/main.html. Is there a way to make both the scrollbar and the iframe background transparent without this effect?

Actually, I'd like to it look less bold. Is there any way to make the text just normal? (There seem to be two layers of text and it is a big WTF? for me right now)

here is the suggestion:
create a file named after "mystyle.css" with provided code:
Code: Select all
background-color: transparent;
scrollbar-face-color:ffffff;
scrollbar-shadow-color:AFC3C3;
scrollbar-highlight-color:AFC3C3;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:ffffff;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:AFC3C3;
scrollbar-track-color:ffffff;
scrollbar-arrow-color:91abab;
and in your page add such line:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
like in this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Page title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
<body>
Your pages source here
</body>
</html>
P.S. this not works for firefox browsers, firefox does not support scroolbar styles
Hope this works
post here a cooment if it's works

Thank you! Yes, I know that Firefox doesn't do scrollbar customization. Eventually I just scrapped the whole idea and designed it differently. *g* The problem was the background image but it's fixed. Thanks again for the suggestion!
