The validator is simply telling you which attributes you can't use, so if you strip them out this is what you would end up with:
Try this code, but keep a backup of what you have.

Thanks Cary, I give it a go.

From the above, I would assume that Border="0" and BorderColor="blue" are not recognised and that I will have to use some other method?

Correct, if you need it to validate.

Thanks, it is only 'Border="0" ', that I need to validate (BorderColor="blue" is ignored), any clue on how I write the CSS code on how to do it?

CSS doesn't have anything for controlling the look of frames which are basically being ignored by web standards. That's why frames aren't validated as either transitional or strict. For these reasons, I wouldn't worry about the validation of the framesets, but rather the regular html pages within the frames.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
