using a frameset in an asp.net application

hello experts I am trying to use a frameset in my asp.net application but I cant get it to work. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am using Visual Studio 2010

<frameset  rows="150,550">
            <frameset cols="150,590">
    <frame name="corner" src="http://www.bestbuy.com/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" noresize>
    <frame name="header" src="http://www.gamestop.com/" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" noresize>
            </frameset>

            <frameset cols="150,590">
   <frame name="menu" src="http://www.seibertron.com/news/index.php" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0 "scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" noresize>
    <frame name="main" src="http://www.google.com/" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" noresize>
            </frameset>

</frameset>

Are you using the proper DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

Im not sure as I have never used a frame set before.

Make sure that line I posted is at the top of the html file you are using (replace any existing DOCTYPE line that might be in there)

Also, I feel it's my duty to advise you against framesets. If you are going to be using this site as a public facing website, then you do not want to use framesets. There are a number of reasons... mainly involving accessibility and search engines.

Also, if you have never used frames before, I suggest you start with some tutorials. Google it:
