hello,
I am having trouble setting up the structure of my site.

I want a 750 wide site, divided into 2 frame cols.

whole thing centered horizontally in the browser and valign="top"

plus the whole 750 px wide site should have a white border around the whole thing...but not between the 2 individual frames...

a can't figure out how to get the border.
 
From what I can tell, you just want a table divided into two sections. With a border around the entire 750px box but no border between the two columns. You should be able to do this by simply nesting tables.
Code:
<table border=&quot;1&quot; bordercolor=&quot;white&quot; width=&quot;750&quot;>
  <tr>
    <td width=&quot;750&quot;>
      <table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;750&quot;>
        <tr>
          <td width=&quot;375&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;></td>
          <td width=&quot;375&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

The first table has a border, the nested table (divided into two columns) does not. This should put a border around the entire 750px area, but no border in the inner table.

Is this what you had in mind ?

This is exactly what I have in mind, except that I want the left column to be stationary, with links, while the content changes in the right column.

so, I need frames...this is the problem.
