Sharing background over multiple frames

Hello

I would like to share a background over multiple frames to make the page appear seamless. If I have the background load in each page you can clearly see that it isn't a seamless page.

Also, I have a page of two frames, split in rows, is there a way of adding a scroll bar across both frames, rather than just one? It would go a long way to helping me.

Thanks!

You would have to cut the image & place it on each of the pages to make it work the way you desire. The frames are actually three different pages (frame A and frame B and the page that brings them all together). You might consider using SSI (server-side includes) instead if you are trying to figure an easy way to change your navigation.

Ok, I can get around that by setting my top frame to a specific size, but it'll only work if there's a way of making it scroll the whole page.
Is there anyway of doing that at all?

Well if you are in Frame B scrolling down, you cannot have the background image to Frame A scrolling as well.

The backgrounds are static, but I would like it if it could act as one page...
Would it be possible to do this using iFrames? Non scrolling i frames of course...

No because once again you are using another window for the iframe
