Ok, the site that I'm working on http://www.existest.org/new/news.htm is currently made up of just a series of tables. I want to have the area where the content is displayed be a frame, but have all of the other areas still be tables, or if they have to be frames, have a way to line up the graphics of the interface. I need a scrollbar in the content frame, and would prefer the frame to be able to scroll the text without scrolling the background image. Is this at all possible? If it is what program language do I use to do it? And if your super smart could you point me in the right direction by posting the code? thanks.

1) You should not use tables to control layout, use CSS instead. See http://glish.com/css/ for some tips on soing it right.
2) You want to use an IFRAME element. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#edef-IFRAME.
I'd recommend not using a frame at all. Please view http://www.infinitypages.com/webdesign.php and let me know if that is what you are looking to do.
