Oh, you want to just have a transparent IFRAME? SURE!

<iframe ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="TRUE" src="" name=""><iframe>

just don't set a background (or set a transparent one) for the inner frame, and you can use layers or just make the image a background.

Thanks and crap.

I was hoping there was an easier way to do it. Kind of along the lines of using a .CSS for the background with maybe an IFRAME.

I'd kicked around/toyed with hacking the image up in PhotoShop or Gimp, just kind of hard to align correctly and sew back together. *Sigh*

I found something a *little* closer to what I'm looking for in this layout: http://www.moongraphics.org/Layouts%20Linkware/stars_main.html

Although this is a little too over the top. I'd basically need to hack off the entire right-side of the page.

I've told the wife the she's got to watch the kids (4yr old and 13 month old) this weekend so I can get this hammered out. When (if?!?) I get it hammered out, I'll share.

If anyone else cares to take a whack, feel free to chime in. Right-clicks are disabled at the link above, but you can still view source and use work offline to see how its coded.

I'm not advocating code theft, nor am i stealing source code here, just learning by example.

Well, a shorter answer is, you can't use one image to cascade between frames, it's just not possible, however, you can make 1 image, into 2 images with little to no difficulty, just get the widths, and height, and crop as needed.

Not a good idea to use frames now days for several reasons but you're not here to hear that right

this framed page would be the same as the other you mentioned, the top and left are fixed width so just title an image in each framesets body tag and you'll have to set padding and margin to 0 with CSS (or html as crude way) as different browsers have different margains and padding values.

To get the code in a framed site, use 'view/page source' for the main layout source and right click in each frameset and choose view source (or 'this frame/view source' if using mozilla etc), remember if you use 3 frames you need 4 pages, 2 frames you need 3 pages ...
