Using Borderless Frames  pwp home  >   Reference Library  >   HTML Tutorials  >  Borderless Frames

The Prodigy, Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers allow you to create framed pages that don't display a border between the frames, making your framed pages appear "seamless." Each of these browsers handle borderless frames somewhat differently.

With Netscape and the Prodigy browser, adding BORDER=0 to the FRAMESET tag will make your framed page appear with no borders between the frames.

With Internet Explorer, not only will you need BORDER=0, you'll also need to add FRAMEBORDER="no" (or FRAMEBORDER=0) and FRAMESPACING=0 to the FRAMESET tag in order to get rid of the borders between frames.

To insure that your page will look the same with both browsers, I'd suggest that you use FRAMEBORDER=0, FRAMESPACING=0, and BORDER=0.

The Prodigy browser also supports a feature not supported by the other two. The Prodigy browser allows you to increase the size of frame borders by adding a number to the BORDER attribute. For example:

<FRAMESET ROWS="58,*" BORDER=20>

would make the borders between the frames 20 pixels wide. This example is a little extreme, but the point is still made.
