Why are you using frames here? The whole purpose of frames is to allow
independent parts of the window, but it looks as if you're using frames
for positioning instead. Whay aren't you using one big table or divs
with absolute css positioning?

As regards frame borders, although most of the syntax of frames is
standard and W3C standardised, frame borders are not, and it is very
tricky fuse two frames together without some residual spaceing,
especially if you're trying to make it browser independent.
