Mr_Furious,

The good news is, what you want isn't completely impossible (maybe)

What it requires is cutting your background image so that it matches the adjacent frame. In effect, you will have a separate bg image for each segment of your frame. Having 3 frame segments really complicates it.

The catch is if you design it for 800x600 resolution, it will probably still look like h**l in any other resolution. To even stand a chance to look right, you would need to have pixel dimensions on your frames instead of percentages.

Anybody else have a better/easier way to do this?

Easiest solution would be to not use frames

Hope this helps

What about the JavaScript (I think it's a JavaScript) so that when you scroll it only moves the text and images, but the background stays in place? I've seen it in a few places, but don't know how to do it.

Ok, this is an IE only attribute, and I don't think NS currently has anything like it, but this has worked for me in the past and I just tested it and it worked for me(Win95,IE5).

code:

<Body Background="bg.jpg" BGProperties="Fixed">
[/code]

I think the point he was trying to make is that he has a seamless bg image. However, when you display it in three different frames, you can see the frame lines because the bg doesn't aline with the adjacent frame

I have to agree with cds, don't use frames - they suck bigtime. Use tables instead.
