Hey Joel, Thanks for the information! It is true that the iframe is behind the element it is called on by setting the z-index to -1 and by where it is inserted into the DOM. The only time the iframe should show through is if a child element (of the element that has the bgiframe method called on it) has an opacity of less then 1 on it. I believe I will take out setting the opacity by default (since in most cases it doesn't matter) and add an option to include it.
