Then do I need to include the border=0 etc inside the frame src?

Is the full name border=0 or frameborder?

n the noresize doesn't need any =??

Christian_Wenz

(1) usually, you don't have to include border=0 in the frame tag - but I always do that, maybe some alternative browser needs it.
(2) border = Microsoft syntax; frameborder = Netscape syntax, so you need both
(3) exactly, you just need NORESIZE

So it's safer to
<frameset frameborder (netscape) =0 broder (MIE) =0>
<frame frameborder=0 ... >

to be on the safe side...

Christian_Wenz

exactly. to be on the _very_ safe side, do also include FRAMESPACING="0" in the <FRAMESET> tag

thanks for being patient even when we are just commenting.

so, the framespacing is MS, frameborder is NS. then border?

frameborder refers to the "3d border" of a frame in IE, whereas framespacing defines the distance between two frames (so there may be a distance between two frames in IE that doesn'T look like this bold 3d border line. border is NS-specific,
