iframecss = "filename"
default: none

The iframecss command is a special command used to link the iframe Html file(s) generated by Palview to a cascading stylesheet specially prepared for them. The actual stylesheet will be imported along with the CSS file used in the stylesheet command. This is accomplished with this Html code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<LINK REL='stylesheet' HREF='p3style.css'>
<STYLE type='text/css'>
@import url(p3iframe.css);
</STYLE>

You only need this command if you are using an htmltype = iframe page and you have changed the background color of the table that holds both the chess board and the iframe. (This would be done in the .pgob CSS class.) In this instance, the iframe Html file would be using the same background color of the entire page itself instead of the table. So, in order to get the iframe Html file to match the color of the table, we need to import the table's background color into the iframe. All you really need in this iframecss file is the following:

 BODY {background-color:white}

In the above CSS example, white would be replaced by whatever color you are using as the background for your .pgob class in the CSS file assigned to the stylesheet command.

There are a number of CSS classes that Palview3 uses specifically for its Html files so that webmasters can control the way the games will look to his viewers. Webmasters should only use lowercase letters in the names of his CSS files since we recommend that all files uploaded to the server should be converted to lowercase by the ftp program. If you use uppercase letters in your CSS filenames you may have trouble on Linux and Unix based servers. Palview will automatically convert all stylesheet filenames to lowercase when linking to them from its Html pages.
