Frame Problem

[dagger2002]

I am writing a program to act like a SODA MACHINE. I have heard that you can hide and show frames by making them visiable and invisiable. Is this true and if it is how do i do this.

I'm not sure you can hide and show frames - although certainly this is something I've never actually tried, so cannot be 100% sure of this.

You should, however, have no problems hiding and showing iframes by setting either the "style.display" property, or the "style.visibility" property, depending on the desired effect.

If you set style.display, the element will be hidden, and the space etaken up by it will shrink. Using style.visibility, it will be hidden, but the space taken up will be left on the page.

Hope this helps,
Dan

hi dagger,

Go to this site

http://www.heartprofit.com

and check out the source of the frameset. If you use IE then use the 'view source' option from the menu NOT from the right click context menu.

In there you will find a frameset definition and some scripts. The script that you need is called 'ResizeFrameSets' and can be called anywhere on the site using Parent.ResizeFrameSets. You can resize any combination of frames.

The frameset is rather complicated however, you can simplify it using your own framset.

Good luck!
