IE iframe appears to inherit transparency from background

[stevegos]

I have some css that sets a white background on my content area to be transparent:

Code: Select all

.contentBg {
background:rgb(255,255,255);
background:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
 -ms-filter:alpha(opacity=80);
filter:alpha(opacity=80)
}

On one page I have an iframe of a Google map embedded. In IE9 (all other browsers appear to be fine) the iframe map is also transparent and thus appears to be inheriting the transparency from the background css.

Any idea how to over come this and back the iframe content solid?

Dear Stevegos,

I have used this solution in the past:

And by accident i just came across this:

Maybe setting allowtransparency="false" will fix your issue?
