Marginwidth

You can set how much "padding" is around your text or document by setting the marginwidth. This command falls inside the <frame> command. Let's suppose you want a huge amount of padding in one frame and nearly no padding in another frame. Here's what that would look like:

That code produces this page.

Frameborder

You can specify whether a certain frame will have a border or not. This is very similar to the "frameborder=no" command found in the <frameset> tag, but this only designates the frame you tell it to. Here's an example of the code:

That code produces this page.

Bordercolor

You can change the colors of the borders on your page. If you wish to change all of the borders on your page, you would put this command within the <frameset> tag. Here's an example of how this would work:

That code produces this page.

You can also change the colors of the individual frame borders using the bordercolor command. Sometimes this causes glitches, but it does ake your page more colorful. Let's look at the code:

That code produces this page.

As you can see, these things aren't that necessary, but they're nice to have. That's about all there is to know about frames. But are they needed? Go to the next lesson.
