I am fairly new to webdesign (even though I've been designing several pages over the last few years, I've been keeping it simple).
I have now tried for the first time to design a page with frames. I have run it through the Validator, and it comes out clean. Still, white frames appear all around my frames, even though I have frameborder="0" in every single frame code.
Does anyone have any idea?
Also, I have been doing some reading on frames (while trying to understand my problem), and it shows that they are far worse than I first thought. But I feel that they are really good for my design. Does anyone know of alternatives that would allow me to:
1) not have the whole page reload at every click, and
2) would make it possible to scroll down only the main text area (iFrames, maybe?).
Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Have you tried using the marginwidth and margin height? If I recall I had a simaler problem when I designed my first site in frames and I think that was the solution.
<frameset rows="num,num" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame src="" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" noresize />

Someone else might be able to answer with a solution to this query.

There's some pretty funky stuff you can do with Javascript if you post in that forum :)
2) would make it possible to scroll down only the main text area (iFrames, maybe?).
You can use CSS to format a textarea to do this, so you aren't having to load an external page.

This code has worked well for me.I guess you can use pixels or percentages.
<FRAMESET COLS="140,635" frameborder="0" framespacing="1" border="0" scrolling="Auto">
