<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"

Because there are no frames.
A frameset consists of frames.
It is possible to have only framesets in a frameset, but the most
inner frameset will need frames.
Also, there is no 'bla' afaik inside a frameset.
The content of a frame is really the content of another html page,
which is called by the frame:
<frame src="somepage.html">

I'd read a few online frameset tutorials to familiarize yourself with
frameset basics:

It's completely wrong. Where are your <frame> elements? Where did you
find that code?

<frameset cols="40%,60%*">

100% is taken, what is the * for?

If you want a third column, you would need to put in a comma and leave room
for some width. I don't think browsers are philosophical enough to say: "Ah,
a third column of no width, interesting, I will display none but I *know* it
is *not* there"

If you want the second col to take up what is left after the first, leave
out the 60%
