A friends page will not valide using <!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">.

Reason:
1. Line 10, column 43: there is no attribute "frameborder" (explain...).

<frameset rows="*,56" cols="*" frameborder="0">
^

The ^ is under the frameborder. How do I correctly add the frameborder="0" and have it comply?

xhtml doesn't use frameborders so you might have to degrade to html 4, and for all I know there is nothing to replace it with css 1 or 2, but I read that it's been proposed for css3

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_frame.asp

That say that it does support that tag though?

should be

<frameset rows="*,56" cols="*" border="0">

Tried that too, still doesn't validate.

You just can't use frameborder with a xhtml frameset dtd. You'll have to downgrade it to HTML 4.01 to get it to validate. Just like the w3schools page specified.

I decided to get rid of the frams and go with CSS and tables instead. Thanks for the help.

That won't help since FRAMEBORDER isn't an attribute FRAMESET in HTML. XHTML is a reformulation of HTML in XML, remember? ;)

FRAMEBORDER is an attribute of FRAME though... maybe that will work for you ogden2k? If you change you mind, I mean. :p
