Frame Resets widths on Refresh

[tqeonline]

I have an index.html that creates a frameset

    <frameset name="menu" border="1" frameborder="1" framespacing="0" cols="180px,*">
        <frame name="Navigation" src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://sqadashboard.int.asurion.com/edit/Menu.aspx"/>[/URL]
        <frame name="Display" src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://sqadashboard.int.asurion.com/edit/Home.aspx"/>[/URL]   
    </frameset>

On the navigation frame I have it load "Menu.aspx" and on the menu page I have code that will resize the frame to 50px from the original 180px

        If btnMenuSize.ToolTip = "Expand Menu" Then
            LoginStatus.Visible = True
            CreateUser.Visible = True
            TreeView.Visible = True
            chkLoop.Visible = True
            With btnMenuSize
                .ImageUrl = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://sqadashboard.int.asurion.com/edit/Images/shrink.jpg"[/URL]
                .ToolTip = "Shrink Menu"
                .Attributes.Clear()
                .Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:parent.resizeFrames('50px,*');")
            End With
        ElseIf btnMenuSize.ToolTip = "Shrink Menu" Then
            LoginStatus.Visible = False
            CreateUser.Visible = False
            TreeView.Visible = False
            chkLoop.Visible = False
            With btnMenuSize
                .ImageUrl = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://sqadashboard.int.asurion.com/edit/Images/expand.jpg"[/URL]
                .ToolTip = "Expand Menu"
                .Attributes.Clear()
                .Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:parent.resizeFrames('180px,*');")
            End With
        End If

The issue is this. When I have the navigation shrunk to 50px, and i hit F5 the parent resets the frames to 180x,* when it should be 50px,*.

Is there anyway I can catch the frame sizes right before refresh and reset them after refresh?

We probably need to see the HTML actually generated and displayed to determine whether this is an HTML problem or not. If you feel it may be an ASP issue then try posting in the ASP.NET forum instead.

There are several ways you could do this... I think the easiest for would be to save the current width in a cookie, and use that to set the width when the page is loaded.

Hope this helps,

I ended up figuring out something that would work. I put the code in the page load to read the button and set the width. So on postback it sets the right width to the pages.

        If Page.IsPostBack Then
            If btnMenuSize.ToolTip = "Shrink Menu" Then
                Response.Write("<script>" & vbCrLf)
                Response.Write("parent.resizeFrames('50px,*');")
                Response.Write(vbCrLf & "</script>")
            Else
                Response.Write("<script>" & vbCrLf)
                Response.Write("parent.resizeFrames('180px,*');")
                Response.Write(vbCrLf & "</script>")
            End If
        End If
