Writing pages without frames...

Other means: html code. Just like you would have done in a frame, only
without the frame. In the same page as the content.

Impression of a borderless frame? You mean you want to be able to see
an absent border so that people think there is an invisible frame?

Maybe you meant to ask: how do I get my navigation links to stay on
the left of the page with the content to the right, and how do I give
it a separate background colour or image?

f-up set to alt.html
