A drawing would help me understand...:).

You could place a background in the body itself and another in a div that
holds the menu.  You can control repeating with "background-repeat: none;"
and you can set the width and position of the div to what you want. Not sure
why you'd need a frame, though - just float the menu div to the left with
"float: left;".

I don't believe there is any way to assign two separate background images to
one element, but I do know you can manipulate backgrounds at least as well
as you could with a table...:).

I guess the best way to explain it is that I want two different backgrounds,
side by side, on one .html page.  The only way I can see to do this is by
creating tables to hold them.  Can you assign two body backgounds to the
same page in CSS? I tried with the DIV tag, and they show up, but one
background repeats horizontally and the other doesn't show up.  If I assign
the content portion to the background tag, both images show up, but again,
the menu portion repeats horizontally instead of vertically, on top of the
content background.  I've set the margins for the menu portion and it shows
up, but then again, won't repeat vertically for the entire page.
