frame background styles

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 30.2004

Hi,
isn´t it generally possible to define background style attributes like background-image etc. for frames of a frameset? I tried it out (using an id selector) and it only worked in Firefox – IE, Netscape and Opera simply ignored it. When making the definitions for the bodies of the individual frame documents it worked from the beginning…
Is this normal, or may I have missed anything?

@gil_davisSep 30.2004 — A frame is a window. It is not really an HTML object, and does not have styles that can be applied. The HTML page that loads into the frame is the thing that will have styles.

I am surprised that Firefox did it. Was it an IFRAME?

Success!
