Table Caption, Another HTML Bug?

Brian,
 Sounds like a cop-out to me ;D No no, excellent, I'll be glad to see it.
I noticed another problem while I was working with frames. I use the
following code:

<frame name="statictop" src="topframe.html" marginwidth="10"
marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder=0 NORESIZE>

to make a frame. Again, I could be reading specs wrong, but that
fameborder=0 should mean there's no visible border between the two
frames. However, OW does in fact draw a border. IE and iCab don't. Am I
wrong on this one, or is OW again to blame? 

 Slightly off-topic, but I noticed this. Why is OW the only browser that
listens to font sizes?? iCab and IE both automatically bump the font up
+2. OW looks gorgoeus, but then I'll test the page in IE, and need to
drop font sizes. Any web designers out there care to shed some light on
this? I know I can then change the size in IE, but default seems to be +2.


-Paul
