How to set border of frameset to 0 in CSS?

Hi,

I'm trying to set the border width of a framset to 0 in CSS, but can't work it out.

Tried {border-width: 0px}

but doesn't work

Can anyone help?

Thx

Hi AdamJSawyer,

Do you have to set the border in CSS? Using HTML you can just set the frameborder attribute to 0:

<frameset cols="120,*" frameborder="0">
</frameset>

I believe that most browers do not support the styling of frames.

Hope this helps!

Yes I have to use CSS because FRAMEBORDER and BORDER attributes are not supported in the HTML validation.

Thanks

are you using the correct *frameset* doctype?

Yes I am, and I am still getting the error. My code for the DOCTYPE was slightly different to that listed at the w3 site, and I have changed it to match, and still get the following error:

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.

1. Error Line 10 column 31: there is no attribute "BORDER".

<frameset cols="175,*" border="0">

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.
