Preserved Topic: resizing iFrames? (Page 1 of 1)

ok, i'm trying to resize an iframe. originally it's 200px wide, and i want to click on a button and have the onclick do a resizeIframe() function. problem is, it doesn't seem to do anything when you say:

top.frames['myframe'].width = 500;

or

top.myframe.width = 500;

what am i doing wrong? or does it just not work this way? or is it just not possible to resize an iframe dynamically? thanks gurus...


"there has to be a solution."

If the frame has an id attribute (id="myid") you can do it like this:

document.getElementById('myid').style.width='500px';

thanks Slime! that worked like a charm. i was banging my head all morning on that one.

"there has to be a solution."

hehe, that's funny. I was just getting ready to post that same thing and I got called into a meeting. Got back and Slime already did it.

Glad that I was right and that Slime could help
