XHTML Frameset

[phptek]

Hi folks:

I've spent all morning trying to validate my site using the XHTML Frameset DTD and have found a lot of tips right here on SP [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img] - however, I'm just *one* step away from validating and validator.w3.org baulks at:

 <frameset rows='100%' cols='172,*' border='0'>

[img]images/smilies/frown.gif[/img]

If I take out border='0' then it'll validate but there's a nasty gap where the frameborder would go if I set frameborder='1'. (Present in IE 5+/Opera 6.05+ and especially pronounced in any Gecko browser)

See the attached screenshot of the gap I mean, between the top utility navigation and the left-hand main navigation frame.

Can anyone help me out and get this puppy validated? [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Cheers.

haven't done frames in ages, but...you should be able to set the border via CSS. give the frameset an ID, and assign a property of border: none to it ?

your html:
<frameset rows='100%' cols='172,*' id="myframes"> 

your css:

#myframes {
    border: none;
}

Cheers redux - but I tried all these in CSS ID and class form to no avail:

<frameset rows='100%' cols='172,*' id='fset'> and:
<frameset rows='100%' cols='172,*' class='fset'>
#fset
{
 border-collapse:	collapse;
}
#fset
{
 border-width:	 0px;
}
#fset
{
 border:	   none;
}
 
and:
 
.fset
{
 border-collapse:	collapse;
}
.fset
{
 border-width:	 0px;
}
.fset
{
 border:	   none;
}

Any other suggestions ?? Cheers for that though mate..

frameset {
   border-collapse: collapse;
   border: none;
}

Cheers for that but it didn't work either I already tried border-collapse in one of the classes in my last post.

b**ger.

ok, apparently it can't be done. see http://www.stopdesign.com/experiment.../frameset.html and the related log entry at http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2003/0...eking_vwm.html

Thanks a lot for that - what are your thoughts on displaying XHTML compliancy (non-framset) logos in each (compliant) frame?

Is that some sort of copout do you think?
Thanks again.
