Alternative to framespacing attribute in the <frameset> tag?

[Peter N]

How to I eliminate the gap between frames without using the 'framespacing'
attribute in the <frameset> tag? (I'm using IE 6)

Can I use CSS do this?

Thanks

Do you mean you tested it in IE6? Otherwise, what difference does it
make that you use some particular brand of browser?

Please don't ask a question if you don't want the answer

It's nice that they didn't keep us waiting for it, anyhow ;-)

Why do you want to get rid of the "framespaci ng" attribute? So your html
will validate? Why do you want or need it to validate? Sometimes you
gotta just decide what's more important to you and your site's visitors.

I haven't seen a way to do it with CSS, nor to do it across browsers
and have it validate. Which is not to say there isn't a way, just that I
haven't seen it. I tried to figure it out once, but you also gotta
decide what's the best use of your time.

OK. Your call.

Eliminate the frames?

The CSS specs do not specifically mention frames, no doubt at least partly
because they are deprecated. Having said that, you may be able to do it by
setting
frameset {margin:0;}
or something, but I doubt it. And (especially since it isn't mentioned in
the specs), browser behaviour could vary significantly.

Why ask the question if you already know the answer?
