So I have a picture that I want to use as a main for a website & put a news section in the corner. So how do I do a frame over an image that will be transparent? Sorry if thats confusing
Yes, that is confusing. And because it's confusing, it will not get you any solid answers.

You mean you'd like a box of news, but the box to be transperant so there's an image in the back? Maybe like a "background image" of the box?

But it will be. Atleast how I'm reading it. You want an image in the [iea38b89dd8]background[/iea38b89dd8] of some news.
Don't do frames. Frames will make your website look like it came out in 1997. Find some tutorials on CSS.

so define the div's size to match the image's size and use the css background-image specification

You're argueing semantics.
"Go stand behind that person."
"I don't want to, I want to stand in front of them"
And like I said. Don't do frames. They're the devil. You'll never get them to work right in all browsers. It simply won't look right. Make a CSS div align absolute if you want to place it somewhere on the page.
