Can someone help me! I want to know how to make a nice layout with a scroll bar and a picture in the background to go inside a webframe.

Can someone explain to me how to do this?

Thanks

All of those are good places to start to learn everything that you'll need to compile the layout you'd like. :)

Make the layout in a frame wouldn't be any different then if it wasn't in a frame. When you use frames they actually load the html(s) file that you specify. For your background you can use css, bourdelson posted a link.

And just a little tip - if you can, avoid frames. You can archive the same look using divs and tables. I can only see two instances where you really NEED frames. One is if you need a frame that wont refresh while the user browses your site, and the other would be for making a help documentation site, with a side bar. (thats where you tend to see them the most).

Good Luck,
David

ok, ill look into it, thanks for the help. But the layout is to go inside a frame that is already there, like a sim game where you have an account that you can make look pretty! lol, still if anyone has more suggestions then fire away,

Thanks everyone
