hey guys,

We have a frames page, but instead of the default grey, 3d frame borders, we want to change it (color, viewstyle, etc.)

Is there a way in CSS to do this? Im guessing their must, since I've seen the scroll bars for the browsers in all sorts of colors.

Thanks,

Jack

Try this example (I only tested it in IE5.5 here)

<frameset style=&quot;border: 3px dashed orange&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;false&quot; cols=&quot;150,610,*&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;tabeltest.htm&quot; name=&quot;left&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginwidth=&quot;1&quot; marginheight=&quot;1&quot; noresize>
<frameset style=&quot;border: 5px solid yellow&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;false&quot; rows=&quot;30,*&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;popup.html&quot; name=&quot;slogan&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginwidth=&quot;1&quot; marginheight=&quot;1&quot; noresize>
<frame src=&quot;Formtest.html&quot; name=&quot;main&quot; scrolling=&quot;auto&quot; marginwidth=&quot;1&quot; marginheight=&quot;1&quot; noresize>
</frameset>
<frame src=&quot;error.html&quot; name=&quot;right&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginwidth=&quot;1&quot; marginheight=&quot;1&quot; noresize>
<noframes>
<body bgcolor=&quot;#3E6BBF&quot;>
<P>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</P>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

------------------------------------------------
As you can see the outlines of the frames are colored.
You can try to change the style to (I didn't test them all): hidden/dotted/dashed/solid/groove/ridge/inset/
outset/double/

Don't code the &quot;frameborder&quot;-attribute in the <frameset> tag !!
----------------------------------------------------

You can also experiment to set the separate frame-borders like:

<frame src=&quot;tabeltest.htm&quot; style=&quot;border: 2px solid green&quot; .........>

If you want to know more CSS possibilitys look at:

The detailed part is:

Hope this helps,
Erik
