First of all, I am not sure if this can be done.. but I think I
remember something about it, I just can't find it again.

Here's what I want to do:

I have a table which has a background image to serve as a layout.
In one of the cells, there's going to be an iframe for the other
pages.
Is it possible to make it, so that the iframe will 'look' transparent
and show the background image from the bigger table?

there is an "allowtransparency=yes" parameter for the iframe element.

I already tried that, but it don't work... unless I have to do
something else too.

Not in HTML. It must be a proprietary extension of some sort, what supports
it?

http://www.useit.com/alertbox/designmistakes.html - see number 9 and read
"iframe" where it says "popup" (the effect is the same).

In the "by-iframe-called page" (the one showing in the iframe) set
<body style="background-color:transparent" ...... >

In the code of the iframe itself set
<iframe allowtransparency="true" ...... >

Thanks everyone - I figured it out... it was one of those typo's that
sneak up on you, when you aren't looking... *blushing*
