IE7 - Is a transparent editing background possible?

I have asked this question multiple times over the last year, and have spent many hours experimenting and searching for a solution. I'll ask again in the hope someone has cracked this problem.

Q.: Is it possible to make the background of the editing region transparent? I am concerned only with IE 7 (and perhaps IE6).

A solution would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Geoff

Re: IE7 - Is a transparent editing background possible?

You could try my way. Set

/*for firefox*/
html > body {
   background-color: transparent;
}

/*for ie*/
* html, * html body {
   background-color: #43f805;
}

to your fck_editorarea.css file and

iframe {
   filter: chroma(color=#43f805);
}

to the css file of your page (who is calling fckeditor).
This works for me in IE6, I haven't try it in IE7. #43f805 should be a color, that were never used in your page, because that color is set to transparent.

Good luck

Thanks I will give that a try, but I don't understand it. How can a colour value be transparent?
