I've never tried that, so I will defer to others. Not a frames-guy myself.
I've always spent the time to table up all the sliced images, so there is a column (or entire table) in the center, where the text needs to be.
Edit- I see boykster slipped in a response while I was hunting keys. I agree with his agreement. :)

Your current image is laid out using a table, so you just need to finagle a central cell where the box is now and add a new table, or heck even a <div>. You can use CSS to make sure it's perfectly centered and matches up with the outer frame....
then in that div you can enter "push" content into there using the innerhtml property, or you can even put an iframe in there to dynamically load content pages....so many possibilities....

okay, so instead of making the white part one big slice, in photoshop i would need to go in and basically slice an "outline" and leave a blank spot in the middle? i guess where im confused is how does photoshop treat slices....just as images? if so, and i sliced around it like an outline like you are suggesting, what happens to the center part where i didnt manually slice it out and name it? does photoshop just make that free space? and thus, i would be able to make that a table or frame?? :dizzy: :dizzy:

Yes, they are all separately named images. You can see that on your site by right-clicking on each piece and seeing they are differently named. You just won't have an image for the center area- Photoshop is out of the equation at that point.

okay, i THINK i understand. i just slice around the spot where i want to put text, and then save for the web....then when i go into frontpage or dreamweaver or whatever, ill have that empty spot for a table or something, and then i edit it like i would a normal site.....right?
zaphod:
Pretty much. You'll be creating an 800x600 table for your completed image, then create cells (col and rows) within that to hold each image slice. It'll take you a bit of time but not a big deal by any means. Then you'll have it in a form that you are comfortable with already (from your Frontpage days).
