Hi Glenn,
<<Bad code in the frameset again. (2 "*"s again) >>
Ummm, 2 asterisks my not be preferred, in a <frameset
tag, but the syntax appears to be legit as there is at least
one defined value.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#h-16.2.1
Of course a cardinal premise for browsers - if you can't understand
it, ignore it <g>.
In the example you cited:
==========
<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" cols="*,592,*" frameborder="0">
<frame name="left_fill" src="black_fill.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
scrolling="no" noresize target="_self">
<frameset rows="*,388,*">
==========
cols= 3 columns, center to be 592 pixels, column 1 and column 3 to split evenly the
available
remaining width.
rows (where this is a bit more odd) = sets the height of the 2nd row to be
388 pixels, with the first & third rows to split the remaining available space
evenly.
It's actually a pretty nice looking page, which uses that coding to
keep the content in the middle size and also centered,
horizontally & vertically on screens in different resolutions. :)
