Frame tutorial not valid HTML?

Hi, IÂ´m new here.

I just looked at the Frame tutorial on this site and tried to check one example (http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/frames/nb_frameset.html) with a Markup Validation Service and it tells me that this example is not valid HTML. Link

Can somebody tell me why?

Thanks in advance.

The tutorial is wrong.

Frames are fussy, especially when validating.

Here is a valid frameset

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Can I use the attributes Frameborder and Framespacing? Which browsers, which OSs accept these and which do not? I really donÂ´t want my frames to have borders. Is it a bad idea to use these attributes? Or is there another way I can get the desired effect?

Help would be appreciated.

those attributes should be accepted in most browsers, but it won't validate.
