Thanks for finding the cause. I changed the framerule and
not it works. So the following now shows the frame

------------------------------
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\begin{document}
\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,framerule=.8pt]
text
\end{Verbatim}
\end{document}
------------------------------

Life is so easy if one just targets pdf. It becomes much
complicated to target HTML as well. Now one has to worry about
different browsers Behaving differently.

Thanks for your help. Will add this to my tex4ht cheat sheet.
