Here's how to do print borders around frames.

Start with a small print that you want to use for the borders.  I used this:

Then, make your frames design.  What you'll be doing is actually making a separate page for each leopard border.  The small print is the background image for the border frames. 

Say you want the whole thing to look like this when you're done:

What you will have to do is make up 6 frames:

One for the master index, 3 white frames, and two leopard.

The html code for the master index for this example looks like this:

<html>

<head>

<title>New Page 1</title>

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">

<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">

</head>

<frameset cols="130,6,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">

<frame name="left" scrolling="auto" noresize target="rtop" src="yourleftframe.html">

<frame name="left1" src="leopard.html" target="_top" scrolling="no" noresize>

<frameset rows="*,6,100">

<frame name="rtop" target="rbottom" src="yourtopframe.html" scrolling="auto">

<frame name="rbottom" scrolling="no" src="leopard.html" noresize>

<frame name="rbottom1" src="yourbottom.html" target="_top" scrolling="auto">

</frameset>

<noframes>

<body>

<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

</body>

</noframes>

</frameset>

</html>

 

Notice the page names in red.  Those are just for examples; you would put in the page name of your pages.  "Yourleftframe" is the page on the left, most likely the table of contents page.  "Yourtopframe" is the top frame on the right, and "yourbottomframe" is the bottom frame on the right.  "Leopard" refers to the leopard border frame. Notice that two of the frames have the leopard background. Put nothing but the leopard background on these two pages. For the other 3 content pages, substitute the html page name you give to your own pages in the proper place.  Also, you can substitute any small print for the leopard border page.

BE SURE TO PUBLISH THE MASTER INDEX AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER FIVE FRAME PAGES!
