I have seen the bgcolor attribute used with framesets, as I did; perhaps
this is legacy now. The reason I need the frameset to have its own
background color is because the background color of the pages is set to
black. That means the user sees a disconcerting field of gray (in IE) or
white (in Firefox) before the other pages load. If I can set the background
color of the frameset to black, then the user sees a field of black, rather
than the disconcerting gray or white background.
Any other ideas would be most appreciated.
