I am trying to apply a style to my frames so that regardless of browser
- it always looks *pretty much* the same (its a work thing - frames
already implemented - no choice about using frames).

Now, I found that when i apply the style to my "test" frames - it works
great - across "all" browsers. however - when i apply a
Background-color to my embedded body the frame disapears in mozilla. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a frame and set up the style: border: 3px ridge silver;
2.set up src page - with no style on body.
3.looks great.
4.apply a background-color to embedded page body style/css
5.borders disapear.

Actual Results:  
frame will have no borders

Expected Results:  
frame with borders

We don't support css borders on frames, since there's no way to describe frame
borders reasonably in CSS, so we would be violating the CSS spec no matter what
we did.  In a current trunk build you'll consistently get no CSS borders there
no matter what the background is.
