We refer to the sides as the gutter, and then headers and footers at...well, the head and foot.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Are you talking about a webpage with frames?
I ... don't know? It's got a header and stuff on the side that stay the same but the middle part changes depending on what page you are on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's got a header and stuff on the side that stay the same but the middle part changes depending on what page you are on.
It depends on how the webpage is built, though. Though "frame" isn't a real user-friendly term for most audiences.
Header and sidebar? I'm not sure there's one word to describe both of those.

Gutter! Gutter!
It's just a fun word.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Skin" as a term is gross to me but is that right? At all?
Not as I've seen it used -- the parts you're talking about are header, footer, sidebar, if you're talking in physical layout terms; or nav bar (sometimes top nav, left nav) if you're talking function (since they're most often used for navigation). "Skin" isn't page structure, but the style you apply to it (like the way on some sites you can make your headers blue or read or some such shit).
Though "frame" isn't a real user-friendly term for most audiences.
Frame is also problematic because it can also refer to a specific way of coding the page, and there are other ways to do it.
