I have am creating a small website using Frames, each
frame has a different font size, font color and
background color.
I have also created an external Style sheet but can I use
the same style sheet for all the frames or will I need a
new sheet for each frame, Top, Left and Bottom?
If so how, has anyone got an example that is easy to
follow?
 
You can use the same style sheet for all pages
Format Style Sheet Links (select yours) and apply to all pages

CSS cascades so one style will rule over another. The order of priority is:
HTML Tag Attributes (font / body etc) - overrules all CSS styles
Inline styles - style="..." attribute w/i a html tag
Embedded styles (<style>....<.style in HEAD section)
External Style sheet links (in reverse sequence applied)

Note if you are using a theme applied using CSS it will always be applied as the last thing before the </head> tag

between setting the background of the Left Frame to
Black, the background of the Center Frame to red and the
background of the Main Frame to yellow for instance?

Hi,
background colour is set in the body rule of your stylesheet
body{
background-color:red;
}
so you'll need seperate stylesheets for each frame.

Since style sheets cascade (see the sequence in my prior post), don't set them in your style sheet (or set your colors in your style
sheet for say the "main" content frame - say the Main frame), then apply either an embedded style, or body tag colors in your Left
and Center frame pages (or add a second unique style sheet after the default one in just your other 2 frames.
