    Don't show white line separating frames?

    Consider this frame definition:

    <html>
    <frameset rows="50%,50%">
    <frame frameborder="0" src="one.html">
    <frame frameborder="0" src="two.html">
    </frameset>
    </html>

    And the two frames both look like this:

    <html><body style="backgrou nd-color: lightgrey">
    </body></html>

    Then IE 6 and Mozilla 1.4 will show a homogeneous grey area, except
    where the frames meet. There, IE 6 will display a two pixels wide
    strip which is white. Mozilla does similar, except that the strip is
    wider.

    Is there a way to make this strip appear lightgrey, too?

      Consider to avoid frames.

          Assuming you really, really, do want to use frames, you will need to depart
          from the HTML 4.01 Frameset standard to get satisfactory results in various
          browsers.

          Adding border="0" to the <frameset ...> seems to deal with the problem in
          both IE6 and Mozilla Firebird.

          Having framespacing="0 " in the <frameset ...> seems to deal with the problem
          in IE6 only.

          Opera 7.2 seems to get it right to start with and I haven't checked any
          others.

          Other browsers might require a variation on the theme involving different
          combinations of attributes and the element they need to be attached to
          (<frame> or <frameset>) so it might be easiest, and indeed best, to throw in
          the kitchen sink and go for...

          <html>
          <frameset frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0 " rows="50%,50%">
          <frame frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0 " src="one.html">
          <frame frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0 " src="two.html">
          </frameset>
          </html>

          ....and see how far that gets you.

              Cool! That's what I will try.
