I am trying to modify a webpage with multiple nested framesets. I want to have the main frame “main” always to have floating (scrollable) text and a fixed background cloudsright.jpg whatever html page is loaded into that frame “main”

I can achieve this by linking every html file to the picture cloudsright.jpg as I have demonstrated below (in postcards.html).

As the website has lots of nested frames and I am do not want to modify loads of individual html files, could I force the background jpg and scrolling nature in the top level frameset only and it be carried through to all nested framesets?

I hope I have made myself clear,

Thanks in advance,

Dom.

Frameset

<html>
<head>

<title> Postcards</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>
<frameset rows="90,*,70" frameborder="0" border="0">
<frame scrolling="no" noresize name="top" SRC="top.html" frameborder="NO">
<frameset cols="150,*" frameborder="0" border="0">
<frame scrolling="no" noresize name="menu" src="menu4.html" frameborder="NO">
<frame scrolling="auto" noresize name="main" src="postcards.html" frameborder="NO">
</frameset>

<frame scrolling="no" noresize name="bottom" src="../../bottom.html" frameborder="NO">

<noframes>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

</body>

</noframes> </frameset>

</html>







From the main page “postcards.html”


<body bgproperties="fixed" HEIGHT=700 bgProperties=fixed background=cloudsright.jpg bgcolor="#00cc99" onLoad="">

What are you trying to do now, I downloaded your word.doc (why are you using word?) and I am still as confused as ever, you want this background pic in every frame and you dont know how to do it, is that what you are looking for?

Hi PeOfEo,

I used word to highlight various parts of the code using a colour code.

I am trying to get one background jpg to work on all nested frames, without having to place the jpg everywhere.

do you catch my drift? :confused:

Hope it can be done,

Thanks for your help,

you would have to put background="" in all of your body tags to do this.

Like this?

<body bgproperties="fixed" HEIGHT=700 bgProperties=fixed background=cloudsright.jpg bgcolor="#00cc99" onLoad="">


Thaught there might be a way that it could be done in the top level frame.

Well it was worth a try,

Thanks for your help.
