hey list,

frames + cross-browser/platform... grrr...

anybody know any tricks...

a simple sample frameset:
<html>
<frameset rows="120,350,*" border="0" framespacing="0" frameborder="0"
scrolling="no">
       <frame name="top" src="page_one.html" framespacing="0"
frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
       <frame name="bottom" src="page_two.html" framespacing="0"
frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
       <frame name="slack" src="page_three.html" framespacing="0"
frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
</frameset>
</html>

problem is, netscape doesn't seem to respect the height's i've set: it
renders the top frame 4px too short. (116px in netscape, 120 in IE, (and i
haven't checked on a mac yet)). any thought's on this? in generally,
creating a tight-layout frameset, and having it be consistent in height,
width, padding etc, seems almost impossible. any good tricks, ro
references, or best practicces?
