Dynamic sizing of Frames (with Javascript?)

Hi,

My website needs to fuction on both 800x600 and 1024x768 res screens. I know this is similar to the post below, but it's significantly different.

I have sorted all the widths out with absolute sizes so they fit right. However, the height of the main <DIV> is causing problems.

Currently it is set to 72% which works, however higher res screens give more white space. Is there a way to size frames or <DIV> with javascript, much as you can to size a window.

i.e. var h = screen.availheight - 200
<DIV Style=&quot;height:h&quot;>

Cheers,
Richard.
 
I don't know about <div>, but we use this to change our frame height's parent.document.body.rows='94%,0%,0%,2%,3%,1%';
 
Hiya,

Just thought I'd let you know I just figured it out. Obvious really, just use this function:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function changeheight(divid) {
document.all[divid].style.height=screen.availheight-200;
}
</script>

Simple really.

Richard.
