The question of why it is not in any standard is a question for <www-html@w3.org>. :-) But the short answer is that the frameborder attribute was a vendor-proprietary extension that was never standardized, most likely because by the time anyone got around to proposing it for inclusion, physical markup (not to mention the old version of framed documents) was being phased out in favour of CSS and other more robust technologies. -- By definition there is _no_way_ any problem can be my fault. Any problems you think you can find in my code are in your imagination. If you continue with such derranged imaginings then I may be forced to perform corrective brain surgery... with an axe! -- Stephen Harris
