Syntax
Description
This is a very rudimentary styling attribute that allows you to specify a height in pixels between the content and the top and bottom of the frame. Note that you cannot set a different value for the top and bottom - one size fits all here.
Example
The header frame has a small amount of margin (top/bottom) applied, the main frame a little more:
<frameset rows="100,*" > <frame src="header.html" frameborder="1" marginheight="5"/> <frame src="home.html" frameborder="0" marginheight="20"/> </frameset>
Value
Height in pixels.

Every browser listed supports this attribute.
However, just because it’s supported it doesn’t
mean you should use it! Applying a marginheight is
not the best way to set styles like this - you are better off using
Cascading Style Sheets to define how pages should look within a
frame (you also have the benefit of being able to set
different values for a document’s top and bottom margins in
CSS).
