I've got a frameset that I'm loading different pages into the bottom frame. The whole site has a black background, and the problem is that when a new page loads in the lower frame, the whole frame flashes white until the content loads. (Doesn't do it in Firefox on Mac, but definitely Safari, and IE)

You can see how it looks at:

-- just navigate with the menu along the top and you'll see the bottom half flash white before each section loads ("buzz" "company" etc.)

Is there a way (by CSS or Javascript) to set the background color of the browser or of the frame to black?

I tried using an inline style in the frame tag of my index page:

<frame style="background: #000000" id="changethis" name="content" src="home.html" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" border="0" noresize="yes" />

but didn't work. Any help out there?

thanks,
