Re: transparent background on month-block view?
Support - the transparent background is fantastic in every browser but Internet Explorer 7 & 8. The problem is iframes won't display transparency in IE7 & 8, so I have this problem too.

Is there another way round this?

This webpage: http://otaqui.com/blog/93/transparent-iframes-in-internet-explorer-using-javascript/

seems to suggest a solution - but it relies on the body of the iframe content being set to transparent - something we can't do! Any thoughts?

Here's a page that demonstrates the problem: http://66.7.206.198/~stjamesn/page20.html

Try opening it in Google Chrome - you'll see it picks up my site's background and looks great on it. But in IE it won't allow the transparency.

Hope you can offer some help on this.

Thanks
