Overriding StyleSheet called by PHP?

**TheJoshMan** · 02-22-2008, 03:19 AM

Hi,
I have a site I'm building where I'm strictly the middle-man. The layout of the site is mine, but the content is in an IFRAME which is written via PHP. Now, my site BG is Black, but the BG of this IFRAME is white... Is there anyway to override the stylesheet that the php is calling in the IFRAME to change the background color?

I do not think that this is possible

But can we please see a link to your site?

If the two pages are on the same domain, javascript can alter the style of the document in the iframe. Or - better still with PHP, instead of an iframe, you could include the external file. If you do that, it can be made to follow the style on the 'top' page.

sorry it took so long to reply... i changed my email on here and had to wait for the confirmation email to be able to post anything... Anway, the IFRAME isn't hosted on my site. It's a bunch of website templates for sale through some big corporate entity and I get a percentage... Here's the link so you can take a look, it's all pretty new, I just opened it up yesterday.

Well, I think that you could use JS in the iframe src, that would make the bg black.

How exactly would I manage that? I've never seen a script that would change a color specified by an external stylesheet... any ideas?

Well, I know how you could do it, but I don't know how you would also have the src that website. Why not copy all of there source on there website and choose one? Its not that much different.

There's not a lot you can do with a page from another domain, nothing in fact if the server on that domain, or yours is configured to prevent it. However, there are many variables in the query string for that URL that allow you to change the text displayed, perhaps there are others available that would change the background and/or foreground colors. Check the documentation and/or forums of the host who provides this content for more information.
