Author Centering Framesets?

Does anyone know how to Center a frameset? In preview, it aligns to the left
of IE. I have three frames (top Banner, left Navigation, and right Main) where
the frameset is called Index.html. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Use a letterbox frameset arrangement (numbers represent frames) -

1122222233
1122222233
1144555533
1144555533
1144555533

Make frames 1 and 3 be completely flexible, and 2, 4, and 5 be fixed width.

Can you explain this a little bit further for me? What exactly am I to do with these numbers? P.S. I'm good at Flash, but don't dive into Dreamweaver that much. Thanx!!

Each number represents a different frame. The arrangement I depicted was a
nested frameset containing 5 frames, e.g.,

<frameset cols="3" rows="1"...
<frame #1
<frameset cols="1" rows="2"
<frame #2
<frameset cols="2" rows="1"
<frame #4
<frame #5
</frameset>
</frameset>
<frame #3
</frameset>

If this is not understandable, then you have no business using frames. I'm
not saying that to be sarcastic or mean, but the use of frames is not a
no-brainer.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it; I do appreciate it. I'm one to try and learn, so I'll make it my business. Thanks again!

You can make that easier:
Go to www.projectseven.com and get the free extension for DW called
"Letterbox frameset" or something.

PS:

Before you get going with your frameset, though, be aware of the
numerous problems you'll likely to face further down the road:
