Perhaps this should be added. Ok, the spec is not very clear in this point. HTML 4 Frameset is essentially an extended version of HTML 4 Transitional. Whenever the spec talks about frames and related stuff, it's talking about transitional HTML. Therefore, if you use frames, you automatically use transitional HTML, too. That's why it doesn't make so much sense to write strict HTML pages as part of a frameset and then try to use a frameset feature (target) within this document. > Why was it removed? Because it has no structural meaning. HTML 4 Strict is only about text *structure*, not presentational stuff.
