i didn't go to the website to verify this, but since the parser even
attempted to validate that means you either manually overrode the
doctype or properly added one to your document.

to make a long story short and to paraphrase what the parser said, you
can't have the "border" attribute in a <frameset> tag. therefore if you
want the error to go away, remove the attribute and put it in CSS.

use this link to "check which elements this element may be contained
within."
