XHTML Strict Frame Borders

Alexpizzoferro · August 19th, 2003, 02:58 PM

Using XHTML Strict, i cant seem to be able to get rid of frame borders.
I am using the attribute frameborder="0" of the <frame> tag. This seems to be halfing the frame but not removing it
When i put the border="0" attribute into the <frameborder> tag, the borders disappear. This is what i want although, this attribute is deprecated and not valid in XHTML Strict.

I am also using css to try and handle the problem. This seems to be totally ignored.
I am using the following code in an external css file:

frame{
border:none #3098ff none;
outline-style:none;
}

This sets the three border settings and the outline setting.

Does anyone know where i am goign wrong?

Is it possible that the browser is doing it wrong? Looking quickly at the XHTML Strict spec, <Frame frameborder="0"> should work.

Yeah that is the code that i am using although it does not want to work for some reason.

Any other suggestions?

Not that it will solve your problem but you are using the wrong doctype. You should use (X)HTML Frameset for your framset documents, not Strict. ;)

Thanks for the advice althought i am using the frameset doctype already:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

My document is valid xhtml frameset.
Just dont know what is going on with frames not disappearing.

Any other suggestions?
