resizing a frameset via code 1

[RickLiebespach]

Someone in the HTML forum thought I should ask this one here...

Does anyone here know if I can resize the header frame of my frameset, via code?

If I can, how is it done?

Thanks,

I've not tried this code, and have no idea how valid it is, or if it will work... but give it a try anyway ;o)

Let's say your initial frameset definition had either:

rows="50, *"

or

cols="20, *"

or something similar. I'd suggest (from one of the frames), something like this:

parent.frames['topFrameName'].rows = '20, *';

or

parent.frames['topFrameName'].cols = '50, *';

accordinlgy. If your values are different, then put whatever values you like in.

As I said, I've not tried it, but the theory is sound ;o)

Hope this helps,
Dan

It looked good, I thought it would work, but so far it hasn't...

Doh! After re-reading my code, I realised that there was no way it would work. This, however, I have tested, and can assure you does work ;o)

parent.document.getElementsByTagName('frameset')[0].setAttribute('rows', '25%, 75%', 0);

Hope this helps,

It worked perfectly!!
I'm glad you shared that because I never would have thought of it because I've had no training in JavaScript or Java, and I don't see that type of stuff in the book I have.
Thank you!
