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:

http://elated.com/tutorials/authoring/html/framesets/
http://www.manda.com/frames/

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

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%

Then read a few things about why frames are a bad idea in the first
place:
