Hey everyone, I have a page where I have 3 tables. The top table I've inserted a heading image and the bottom table i've added in a footer image. In the middle table however I have a fixed background image.

What I want to do is add in a navigation of sorts into this table. There will be links going down the left side of the table with a target frame so the whole page wont load up everytime to access the menu links.

I can't seem to get any frames working within the table since its got a fixed background for that whole table. Here's some code that I have:

<head>
<title>Test Site</title>

<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<html>
<div align="center">
<table width="700" height="100" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="images/top_heading.gif" width="700" height="100"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="700" height="456" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="images/clouds_resize2.png">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="700" height="60" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="33" align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="images/footer_template.jpg" width="700" height="60"></td>
</tr>

</table>
</html>

Now its that middle table with height 456 thats in question. Please any help. That .png file is also kind of big so it would benefit not to just create seperate pages and its loaded up you know? :)

Thanks but that doesnt really answer the question. I mean I know how to set up frames and stylesheets however i have a fixed image that is around 700 x 400 that needs to span then 2 stylesheets, the menu and the center according to the link you sent me. I know how to use the background-repeat, etc but to have a fixed image. Can I just assign it to the div and have a nested table? or something like that?

Yeah sorry Terra, still doesn't answer it. Let me see if I can explain this better.

I have 3 tables or 3 different sections on my page. The header and the footer are both going to be occupied with images. The middle section of the page is going to be a 700 x 400 fixed image. In this middle section I wanted to implement a menu/navigation system. Basically have the nav menu on the left side with around 10-15 links and hwen you click on it, loads up the content to the right of it only in this middle section. Both the menu navigation AND content would come up on the fixed image.

How is that possible to do so the image isn't loaded up everytime? How can you load up frames on top of a fixed image without splitting up the image and is that not a wise thing to do?

Any suggestions? Proper way to use stylesheets on a FIXED image? Thanks I'll try and post this in CSS forum as well.
