Let's say I have a 3 frame layout. A top frame that spans the width of
the page (this is a header frame) then two column frames below the
header frame (left is a navigation pane and right is a content frame).
Quick code snippet that may explain what I am doing:

<frameset rows="10%,*">
<frame src="header.aspx">
<frameset cols="30%,*">
<frame src="navigation.aspx">
<frame src="content.aspx">
</frameset>
</frameset>

What I want is no horizontal border on the bottom of the header frame
and only the vertical border between the navigation and content frame.
I will attempt to display what I am looking for but I don't know if it
will come out looking properly here.........

-----------------------------------------
| header |
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| navigation | content |
| | |
| | |
| | |
------------------------------------------

Now, I know about all of the frame attributes such as frameborder,
noresize, marginwidth, etc... but I can't get the affect I am looking
for with those simple attributes. It is easy enough to remove the
border around the top frame, but that still leaves the border around
the navigation and content frames, which includes the top portion of
both of those frames, effectively putting the horizontal border between
the header and the other two frames that I am looking to remove. Any
suggestions on how I might accomplish this? Oh, and I know I can
achieve a frameless implementation using CSS instead, but that
implementation does not allow the user to resize the navigation and
content areas (or I haven't been able to accomplish that task using
CSS) by grabbing the border between the two and dragging it. I need
the user to be able to move the border between the navigation and
content frames to resize them.

TIA.
