I am building a website that has 6 frames. We are loading multiple htm files one at a time into the centre frame. Is it possible to have the same background without adding it to each htm file.Hence i am almost finished my site and there is too much white in the background so I want to make the background for the whole site one colour.

Backgrounds in multiple frames?
- Thread starter PassedOut
- Start date
Hello PassedOut! 
Unfortunately frames do "not know" about the background colors. You could and should setup your main (index.html) to have a background but in reality each page gets loaded into a frame...that loaded Page (not the frame holding page) has to have its properties of color.
So yes..the hard way..change the background of each page!!!
Now there is a way to change all backgrounds in all the pages at ones... BUT BUT make sure you have a copy of your pages before you start:
============[ 1 way ]=================================
---------------------------------------
-Open Site Files (F8)
-Edit-->Find and repleacce (Ctrl+F)
=[ Find in: Entire Site ..or Folder] you reason it
=[ Search For: Source Code: <body> ]
=[Repleace with: <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">](#whitecolor )
----------------------------------------------
basically you are looking for the "body" tag and adding a bit more (background color) to it!
This works just fine IF you know for sure that all the pages are designed with the same structure. If you make a mistake the whole site is effected....
The SAFE way of doing ( but takes time) is opening each page manually and:
===============[ 2nd way ]=============================
-----------------------------------
-Modify --->Page Properties(Ctrl+J)
- select your color /or image for a bacground
------------------------------------
so, like I said, I would go for the 1st way AFTER YOU MAKE A COPY of your files and see if it works! Check your pages and If you are happy you are done!
if you don't trust the "auto-repleace-thing" then take your time and do the 2nd way suggested!
speed vs. safe way
good luck
