Hello,

Apparently after reading much information this is impossible or is there a way to work around this?

The page is in a frameset, validates in the CSS Validator with a 2.1, no errors. In the HTML Validator there are three errors and that's because I am using an attributes which aren't permissible.

I have two images, one for the right and one for the left side, they are both the same size and want them fixed, the left side works fine but can't introduce the right side, is there a way of doing this?

The tricks can vary based on your layout, but you could try nesting a div -- outer contains one side and inner contains the other side. Or, you could simply position them and put their z-index below all others.

Thanks for your response, Jeremy, the layout is pretty simple. I shall take a look at that division, the main thing I don't want any gaps or borders around the images while scrolling. It works just fine for the left side but can't seem to implement the image for the right side.

Can this image be tiled vertically ?? One way would be to put the two images together into a single tile-able image and lay the content section over top of the middle where the two images go together, leaving the left and right sides looking like separate images.

I can think of at least one other way you might do this with 2 images.

I am going to submit an image, there you will see the three frames and what it looks like. Inside the beige is where the content sits. I sure wish I could tile this vertically LadynRed, but as you can see the right image is mirrored. Several years ago my husband designed these images for his site, quite frankly I will never do this again, but I have to admit the pages look nice, but we have these three errors. Right now I am stumped......

Is the page fixed width?

No the index page itself isn't a fixed width, nor the other two pages, Jeremy. The left background image has a fixed width, here's some of the code:

body
{
background-color: #D8CDAF;
background-image:url('leftborder.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed
}

Now this works, on the left side of the page, but can't implement the rightborder.png on the right side of the page, it won't come up. If I could get this to work then I could get rid of the other two pages, the frameset and the validator would quit crabbing about three errors.

why are you using a frameset?!
if you could post a link to the page itslef we could suggest how to lay it out better

I agree, I think there's a couple of ways to do what you want but without seeing it, it's difficult to test it out.

How about positioning the images where you want them and then creating a 100% width div on the page with left and right padding equal to the image width?

Thank you all for your responses!

Davemies and LadynRed, under normal circumstances I would gladly post the url address. In the past here at Webmaster Talk there has been problems with our url address being exposed, it's Xmas Day for the spammers. As it stands now Webmaster Talk has been bombarded tremendously these past few months from the unsavories. Also consulted with my husband and his answer was definitely not, so I will have to respectfully decline.

Thanks again for the help and responses.

Understand completely! Although you could PM it and it would not be released into the 'wild' . I'll see if I can mock something up with the example you posted, it's do-able as an example.

Thank you LadynRed, I will gladly take up your offer of suggestions. I have tried everything I can possible think of, but I certainly don't know everything and am still learning. That's why I am here at Webmaster Talk.

I have been looking into that suggestion Jeremy, thanks, very much appreciated!

First off, the page is operational and no errors or warnings in both HTML and CSS validator. A Big Wahoooo! A Big Big Thank you LadynRed! Very much appreciated for you taking your time and there was really a lot of your time for all the information you supplied.

Jeremy, I looked at the information online and it was as clear as mud, I would have never caught onto this, what I didn't know there is a CSS file that goes with the HTML file, kind of brand new to CSS, thank you very much for your response and offer of help!

Davemies, no longer using frameset on the index page, now onward to the other pages, thank you for your response and offer of help!
