hi to all. I had to make an old-style website with frame, following the customer's request. everything works well with opera-mozilla-ie, but two strange white spaces appear in safari (tested in safari 3 and 4 - pc and mac).

here the safari rendering image (bad):

here the firefox one (good):

here the structure of the frameset:

<frameset rows='186px,*,33px' border='no' noresize frameborder='0' border='0' framespacing='0'>
  <frame src='frames/header.php' name='header'>
    <frameset cols='*,780px,*'>
      <frame src='frames/lateral.php?border=right'>
      <frame src='frames/body.php' name='body'>
      <frame src='frames/lateral.php?border=left'>
    </frameset>
    <frame src='frames/footer.php' name='footer'>
</frameset>

i've searched a lot. someone told me to set overflow:hidden to all the frame without scroll and so I did, but without success.

Did you make sure to zero out all the margins and padding on everything first ?

yes

* { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; }

I forget to set

border='no' noresize frameborder='0' border='0' framespacing='0'

into the nested frameset

Why do they want those nasty frames ?

Curious myself...

I find a common cycle in a project is:
1. Customer has an idea
2. I try to talk them out of it or suggest better alternatives
3. Repeat #1

So I'm assuming you weren't successful at #2
