Attributes

Core

bordercolor="#rrggbb" or "color name"

Nonstandard. Sets the color for a frame’s borders (if the border is turned on). Support for this attribute is limited to Netscape 3.0+ and Internet Explorer 4.0+.

frameborder="1|0" (IE 3+ and W3C Rec .); "yes|no" (NN 3+ )

Determines whether there is a 3D separator drawn between the current frame and surrounding frames. A value of 1 turns the border on. A value of 0 turns the border off. The default value is 1 (border on). Netscape also accepts the values 1 and 0.

longdesc ="URL"

Specifies a link to a document containing a long description of the frame and its contents. Although longdesc is included in the HTML 4.01 and XHTML 4.0 Recommendations, no browsers currently support it.

marginheight="number"

Specifies the amount of space (in pixels) between the top and bottom edges of the frame and its contents. The minimum value according to the HTML specification is 1 pixel. Setting the value to 0 to place objects flush against the edge of the frame works in some browsers but may yield inconsistent results.

marginwidth="number"

Specifies the amount of space (in pixels) between the left and right edges of the frame and its contents. The minimum value according to the HTML specification is 1 pixel. Setting the value to 0 to place objects flush against the edge of the frame works in some browsers but may yield inconsistent results.

name="text"

Deprecated in XHTML 1.0 ; use id instead. ...
