Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Macromedia Dreamweaver 8

1. Start Dreamweaver and open the webpage that has the page border you would like to eliminate.

2. Create a frameset that contains two rows by choosing the "Modify" menu, pointing to "Frameset" and clicking on "Split Frame Down." You will now have a frameset that contains two rows. You will use the first frame to hold the webpage and the second row to act as a "dummy" page to eliminate your page border.

3. Use the "Properties" palette to set the size of the top frame to "100%" and the bottom frame size to "Relative."

4. Set the page border size to 0 by choosing "Modify" and clicking on "Page Properties" and setting the "Left Margin," "Top Margin," "Margin Width" and "Margin Height" to "0" for each of the frames.

5. Click on a frame border to bring up the frame "Properties" palette at the bottom of the screen.

6. Change "Borders" to "No" with a "Border Width" of "0" for each frame. The bottom frame will now be set to eliminate any page borders in your Dreamweaver webpage.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't see the "Properties" palette on your screen, choose the "Window" menu and click on "Properties."
