Why? Its The Coding For The Frame I'm Having Trouble With

You're going to have to use CSS for that. Also, there is some bad news as well. It will work only in Internet Explorer, Opera and Konqueror.

And since Microsoft came up with it, what better than a link to their page on the subject?

an advice : Forget about iframes and colored scrollbars

did you learn some CSS?
Welcome to SP

yup, scroll bars will only get coloured in IE and iframes are the devils work

also your background image seems to be repeating 15 times horizontally, you might want to add no-repeat; to your CSS. If you must use inline CSS change it to:

Code:

<body style="background: url(layout_x_v5.PNG) no-repeat;">

but I would strongly urge you to look at CSS properly!

Welcome to the forums and I wish I had started coding when I was 12!

Pretty good page for a 12-year olds first one. You have potential. You are missing some basic html skills. Google for what a doctype is. Go to the W3.org web site and look at the standards.

Not bad for a 12 year old. And like Spike says, I wish I'd started when I was 12 too!

I'd suggest doing the w3schools.com CSS tutorial as those above rightly suggest you to get into that.

Thanks Ill Go To w3schools.com And Read The Tutorial And I Got Into Programming When I Saw My Freinds Website And I Was Amazed How Much Effort He Put Into It And I Thought If He Could Do It Anyone Could xD

His Website Is: www.hffm.co.uk

You may also want to go to your local library and pick up a copy of HTML, XHTML and CSS Visual Quickstart Guide, 6th Edition by Elizabeth Castro and Designing with Web Standards, 2nd Edition by Jeffery Zeldman as well.
