Is it possible to change a framesets properties. For eg setting the scrolling from no to yes.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't used frames in so long, that I've forgotten the syntax..

But yes, you should be able to do it, sometihng like:

Code: 
frameName.scrolling = 'no';

Or

Code: 
frameName.setAttribute('scrolling', 'no');

Might work.

It keeps on saying that my frame is undefined. That is wierd because the link also that is clicked on opens up in the frame that I want to change.

Any idea why?

Ok, Here is a copy of my index.html file :
Code: 
[COLOR=green]
<html><head>
<title>Test</title>
</script>
</head>

<frameset rows=&quot;20%,80%&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; framespacing=&quot;5&quot; frameborder=&quot;1&quot; scrolling=&quot;yes&quot;>
        <frame SRC=&quot;top.html&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginwidth=&quot;2&quot;>
                                                                                                                                                             
        <frameset cols=&quot;20%,55%,20%&quot; scrolling=&quot;yes&quot;>
                <frame src=&quot;links.html&quot; name=&quot;links_frame&quot;>
		<frame src=&quot;main.html&quot; name=&quot;main_frame&quot; id=&quot;main_frame&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;>
		<frame src=&quot;extra.html&quot; name=&quot;extra_frame&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;>
        </frameset>
</frameset>

</html>
[/color]
And here is the code from my links.html page:
Code: 
<html>
<body background=&quot;computerback.gif&quot;>

<center>
<P><P>
<font size=&quot;+2&quot; color=&quot;white&quot;><b>click.to.proceed</b></font><P>
<a href=&quot;stories.html&quot; onClick=&quot;window.document.main_frame.setAttribute('scrolling', 'yes');&quot; target=&quot;main_frame&quot;><img src=&quot;button1.jpg&quot;></a><P>
</center>

</body>
</html>
[/color]

Any ideas whats going on? Thanks in advance.

Sean,

Try using either:

Code: 
parent.main_frame.setAttribute('scrolling', 'yes');

or:

Code: 
top.main_frame.setAttribute('scrolling', 'yes');

And see if that works.

I tried it, and now it just says that setAttribute is not a function.

Phew, this is harder than it should be.

Try just:

Code: 
parent.main_frame.scrolling = 'yes';

or:

Code: 
top.main_frame.scrolling = 'yes';

And see if that does it... I'm running out of ideas ;o)

I am still having zero luck.

Anyone test this on their machine and get a positive result?
