The problem is that, because of the scrollbar, the centre of the page is different in the top and bottom frames. Even if you used the same size table using fixed widths, they still won't line up if you use percentages for the table sizes.

Use absolute width and positioning when defining the tables. For example, a simple table could be defined as <table border="1" width="400" STYLE="position:absolute; left:100px; top:100px">

Simply change the width, left and top attributes for your page. The width and left attribute must be the same for the tables in the top and bottom frames.

Because the width is the same and the absoloute positioning is from the left the tables will line up properly, regardless of the scrollbar.

To get rid of the line between the frames use border=0 in the frameset tag. Your frameset tag would then be <FRAMESET rows=182,* border=0>

As far the loading time this is because your images are far too big and haven't been optimized for the web. For example LB40.jpg is 102kb in size. If you resize it properly it will only be 4kb.

You can resize images on the web using the height and width attributes but the browser still has to download the entire full size image (in LB40.jpg the real image size is 400 x 572) The best way to use images is to resize them before you put them on your site, the smaller image sizes load much faster.

Also, your background image is in two differnt locations and is 107kb big. Reduce the size and let the page tile it for you. Because it is two different places it has to be downloaded twice. If you use the same file twice, it's already in the cache after the first time is used and can be used again without downloading it.

Also, be careful about using ( and ) in file names. Most hosts use Linux and not Windows, so some characters are illegal. It's best to stick to not using these "special" characters.

If you need more help with any of the above just post back here.

Love the song.
