With pleasure. It is probable that you are using the wrong DTD;
rather than use HTML 4.01 Strict or HTML 4.01 Transitional, you
should use HTML 4.01 Frameset :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
as recommended by the W3C at :
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/frameset.dtd
