the div layers aren't expanding!?! why is this? I'm new to tableless design so please bear with me

Stick one of these:

<div style="clear: both;"></div>

Before the closing </div> that contains your table.

nope, that didn't help

Hi,

The problem is that you are absolutely placing your content therefore it is removed from the flow and will not influence other elements in any way.

You need to get some flow back into the document so that you can exert pressure on other elements.

Try this (it may need tweaking).

#frame {
 position: relative;
 width:779px;
 min-height:100%;
 padding:0px;
 text-align:left;
 background-image:url(http://www.mangadownload.net/images/framebackground.jpg);
}
* html #frame {height:100%}
#contentcenter {
 width:565px;
 padding:0px;
 position: relative;
 margin-top:125px;
 margin-left:196px;
 text-align: center;
 padding-bottom:25px;
}
#contentheader {
 width:779px;
 height:125px;
 padding:0px;
 background-image:url(http://www.mangadownload.net/images/headerback1.jpg);
}

I have put the content and header back into the flow and used margins to position it. The frame wrapper has also been set to relative and the height is min-height now for mozilla and height:100% for ie which expands automatically.

Hope that helps.
