    Need help with a MakeOver

    Here is my website. http://www.krazyk9.com. It is devoted to sports contests. My buddy designed the site about 6 months ago, and during that time I've been trying to learn some web-based programming such as html, java, and a touch of php. So basically, I'm still a little fresh with all this but I can learn quick.

    Anyway, the problem that I don't like with my website is that it uses frames. I don't particularly like the use of the frameset with my webpage. BAsically, my main question is that if I were to get rid of the frameset, is there a way I could have my border (that purplish-pink border) preload its images so that if I were to use this border in a template, these images wouldn't have to load every time a user clicks on a link? Someone mentioned CSS possibly, but I wanted to verify this as being my best alternative.

    If you need further explanation, I will be glad to assist.

    Thanks for the help!!
