Thanks Chris for your suggestions.
I originally designed it at 800 x 600, but it just looked too small for the content I'd like to include.
As far as a non-frames version, I gave that a try as well. I wasn't very successful.
Adding the navigation as a component to a table was giving me problems
(rollover states wouldn't load). And again, how would that effect the border?
Can you suggest a resource to further explore a non-frames version?
I was going off of this:

I apologize for my inexperience. That's why I finally turned to the true professionals!

Here's the thing:
I have a website with 2 frames.
A navagation to the left and the main window to the right.
I've added a border with a brushed metal and bevel and emboss effect
to the main window on the right.
How can I insert the the linked pages into this frame
while keeping the border in tact?
I'm using Photoshop 7 and GoLive 6.
Here's a link to give you an idea as to what I'm trying to do.

Thanks much for any suggestions.

Rather off-topic, but Frames are evil. In My Arrogant Opinion, of course.


Particularly when one assume a screen resolution that just maybe not everyone can do on their monitors.

Please see <http://www.gis.net/~cht/Picture3.jpg> to see what your page looks like at 800 X 600 and how the effect you're trying to achieve is badly spoiled, what with all those scroll bars.

I'm not flaming you for trying to do something esthetically pleasing, heck, I'm not flaming at all.

Please consider offering a non-Frames version of the page.

As for your problem with the graphic frame, the easiest way is to break the graphic frame into separate pieces, top bottom and left & right sides. So, when you load the individual page into the Frame, you are surrounding the chunk of text and any images with other images. Getting the spacing correct will likely require messing with cascading style sheets, but if you're willing to spend the time and effort, you can get exactly what you're looking for.

Or, if you have that graphic frame image as a single image, say 500 X 800 as an example, you treat it as a background image and your text and any images overwrite the white space. This can be simpler to implement, particularly if you treat the text/images HTML as something to put inside a table, but any changes to the text or images can possibly wind up screwing your carefully styled HTML and look just awful.

Best of luck with the project!
