hi peoples,
just drowning in uni work at the moment, and i was wondering if anyone can lend a quick hand:
can you specify the stylesheet used in a child frame by the parent frame? ie can the page that outlines the framesets outline the common stylesheet for all child frames?
if anyone can provide help here that would be great thanks!
cheers.

You can use JS to dynamically add appropriate <LINK> tag to all frames... The following code (I've tested it only in IE) will add LINK tag to the first frame that's in the frameset:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- ;
function initStyleSheets() {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;maxStyle = top.frames[0].document.createElement("<LINK REL=\"StyleSheet\" HREF=\"style1.css\" TYPE=\"text/css\">");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;top.frames[0].document.appendChild(maxStyle);
}
window.onload = initStyleSheets;
// -->
</SCRIPT>

hey max,
can you tell me what is wrong with this?

code:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- ;

var root_url = "http://charlie.it.uts.edu.au/~dchong/intranet/Documents/Code";

function initStyleSheets() {
alert(top.frames[1].name);
help_style = top.frames[1].document.createElement("<LINK REL=\"StyleSheet\" HREF=\""+ root_url + "/style/help.css\" TYPE=\"text/css\">");
top.frames[1].document.appendChild(help_style);
}

window.onload = initStyleSheets;

// -->
</SCRIPT>



it kinda dies at the appendChild line, as the "object or property does not support this property or method".
i have IE 5.5 here...
oh yeah, the alert is there just to make sure i'm referring to the right one...
cheers for your help,
