There are (usually) three div's in the informatin frame, a header, footer and data section. I want to be able to dynamically set the position of the footer to be at the bottom of the page, regardless of the users resolution. So I need to find the vertical size of the Info frame in pixels.

I've tried window.parent.frames("Info").screen.availHeight,

But this just returns 768 (1024x768), which isn't even what it's supposed to do (MS Books sais it's meant to return the height of the screen minus toolbar size?).

I'm running MSIE5.0 and Win2000.

cheers,

Jim.
 
I would say either just make another frame or just keep the footer a few lines under the "data" section and it should look fine but there should be a way to do it... try some css
