Setting frame and frameset borders

You can specify how frame and frameset borders appear in a document. When you specify border options for a frame, the corresponding frameset option is overridden.

To set frame borders:

1	Select the frame by Alt-clicking (Windows) or Option-Shift-clicking (Macintosh) or click the frame in the Frames panel.
2	Set the following options in the Property inspector:
	Borders controls the border of the current frames. The options are Yes, No, and Default. Most browsers default to Yes. A border can be turned off only when all adjacent frames are set to No (or set to Default with the parent frameset set to No).
	Border Color sets a border color for all borders adjacent to the current frame.

To set frameset borders:

1	Select the frameset by clicking a frame border in the Document window or clicking the border enclosing the frames in the Frames panel.
2	Set the following options in the Property inspector:
	Borders controls the border of frames within the current frameset. Choose Yes to display borders in three-dimensional color, choose No to display borders as flat and gray, or choose Default to let the browser determine how borders are displayed. Most browsers default to Yes.
	Border Color sets a color for all borders in the current frameset. This setting can be overridden for a single frame by a setting a border color for that frame.
	Border Width specifies the width of the borders in the current frameset. Enter 0 to specify no borders.
