Preserved Topic: can Frames be resized on runtime? (Page 1 of 1)

Hello.

I never tried it, but i'm asking can frames be resized on runtime by the JavaScript code?

<frameset rows="50%,*" >

	<frame src="file1.htm" name="frame1">

	<frame src="file2.htm" name="frame2">

</frameset>

like changing this 50% to 100px instead?

This will work in IE5.5+ and Mozilla/NN6:

<FRAMESET ROWS="50%,*" ID="maxFrameset">
    <FRAME SRC="file1.html" NAME="frame1">
    <FRAME SRC="file2.html" NAME="frame2">
</FRAMESET>

And use this JS code to resize frames:

parent.document.getElementById('maxFrameset').setAttribute('rows', '100, *');

You can call it from file1.html or file2.html, for example...

BTW Resizing frames can also be done in older browsers, but it is a little bit more complicated (you have to reload pages).

Thanks mr. Max.

Now as for Older browsers and resizing frames...

How do you mean i have to reload the page?
you mean like I pass the new size as a parameter and reload the page. then the page will read the parameter (location.search) and write the frameset tag dynamically based on the param?

You can either pass parameters through query string (like you said) or use another frameset as container like this: http://www.max.co.yu/ozone/max_frames.html
