Sometimes this doesnt work out right either in Netscape 4 and 3. 

Take a look at the following site i just finished, in Netscape 4.5 and 3 PC
(dont know about mac). 

http://www.taylormotorcycles.com.au/yammainframeset.html

The thin grey line that borders each page (the one with the rounded
corners) is strangly 1px wider on the right hand side 3px instead of
2px). 

This is after using -1px with a spacer gif. I got so fed up with it I
gave in and resigned myself to it being 1px too wide in Netscape. 

Such is life hey?
