First of all, why use a frame set in the first place you ask?

answer: Because my boss told me.

That been said, I have 2 files. Index.html and Head.html.

Contents of index.html:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/frameset.dtd">
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
        <title>Site Title</title>
    </head>
    <frameset rows="122,*" FRAMEBORDER=NO FRAMESPACING=2 BORDER=0>
        <frame name="t" src="head.html" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
        <frame name="b" src="http://www.website.com">
    </frameset>
    <noframes>
        <p>You have frames turned off on your browser, please turn it on and reload this page.</p>
    </noframes>
</html>

Contents of head.html:

<div style="border-bottom:2px solid #000;height:120px">
    <center>This is the frame head.</center>
</div>

The code works fine in all browsers except Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (I don't care about 6). Is there anything I am doing wrong, and if not then can the same effect be achieved without frames and if so how?
