Why do the framed pages not have a doctype Tony? I can't see anywhere in
the article you reference where this is stated.
I read this:
"The starting point for any framed set of Web pages is the <frame>
tag, which usually uses the src attribute to point to a particular
HTML document.
<frame src="mainpage.html">
The <frame> tag defines the content of a single framed page. The
example above assumes that you want to have a file called
mainpage.html displayed within the frame. The only required attribute
for the <frame> tag is the src attribute, which obviously tells the
browser what file to display inside the frame. So far so good.
You can also control the appearance of scrollbars inside the frame
with the scrolling attribute:
<frame src="mainpage.html" scrolling="yes">
The default value for this attribute is auto, which lets the browser
decide whether or not scrollbars are to be displayed. The other two
values are yes and no, which are pretty self-explanatory.
There is no closing </frame> tag.
You should not include any <head> tag information in the mainpage.html
file, since the file represents a larger document. Everything on this
page should be included within the <body> tags."
(from: http://www.sitepoint.com/print/frames-frame-usage-explained)
and understood it to mean that framed content would just be
<body>content<body>
in any case I think we're all agreed that trying to include a Strict
doctyped page inside a frameset is pointless.
why anyone would want to mix up frames and strict DTD's I still don't
understand.
