Example
The main frame in
this frameset has a 10 pixel margin applied to the
sides:
<frameset rows="100,*" > <frame src="header.html" frameborder="1"/> <frame src="home.html" frameborder="0" marginwidth="10"/> </frameset>
Description
This is a very rudimentary styling attribute that allows you to specify a width in pixels between the content and the sides of the frame. Note that you cannot set a different value for the left and right sides.
Value
Width in pixels.

Applying a marginwidth
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 left and right sides in
CSS).
