If you want to change the background color of the iframe you need to set the background color of the html page that the iframe is displaying. Say your iframe looks like this:

Code:

<iframe src=mypage.htm></iframe>

The page, "mypage.htm" should have something like this:

Code:

...
<body bgcolor=blue>

    <!-- some html here -->

</body>
...

As for the click event, here is an example:

Code:

<head>
	<script language=vbscript>
		Function changePage()
			fraTemp.Navigate "http://www.xtremevbtalk.com"
		End Function
	</script>
</head>

<body>

	<button onclick=changePage>Change</button>

	<iframe id=fraTemp src=http://www.yahoo.com></iframe>
	
</body>

In the head tag of the page inside the frame:

Code:

<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=main.css>

Whatever page is displayed in the iframe is going to show with it's own styles. You can't see the background of the iframe anyway. Therefore setting the background color on the iframe is not what you want to do. You should be setting it on the body of the main.htm file.

Also, I think that your path are off. If the main.css file is in the same directory as this one than don't use the forward slash. Just href=main.css. Same with the other file names.

One more thing. You can design the page changing function part more effiently. Instead, use one function that handles the click event of each link.
