frameset doctype and framespacing/border

Hi

If i use this doctype:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

i can not use the attributes framespacing and border like this:

<frameset cols ="100%" rows ="20,419,*"  framespacing="0" border="0">

But when i leave these, i get those ugly borders :(

Okay, don't use frames (i don't anymore), but i need to know how to
solve this (if at all).

Thanks!

Mark

Sure you can, but it won't validate against the public DTD.

You've provided the best answer yourself.

Other alternatives are accepting the borders, accepting validation
errors against the public DTD, or using a custom DTD.

Try adding frameborder="no" to the <frameset>-line
