Question

Are table frame="border" and table frame="box" same things in html?

Answer 1

yes. depending on browser support. It is a good idea to use both of them. Or, better yet, set your display attributes using css.

Answer 2

FRAME=BOX means there should be borders on all four sides. BOX is usually used in conjunction with RULES=NONE to create a table that has outside borders but no inside borders: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/tables/_TABLE_FRAME_BOX.html
