HI all,

here is the quick and dirty of it what do I have to do the have netscape 6.2 resize a frameset from a top window.?

In IE5+ it is easier.

Here is the frameset layout
<frameset id="portal" name="portal" rows="60,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame id="menu" src="Index.htm" name="menu" scrolling="No" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" FRAMEBORDER="No" framespacing="0">
<frameset id="application" name="application" cols="100,1" bordercolor="white" border="0"

framespacing="0" frameborder="NO">
<frame id="main" name="main" src="HomeInfo.htm" scrolling="Yes" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" FRAMEBORDER="No" framespacing="0">
<frame id="help" name="help" src="ContactUsInfo.htm" scrolling="Yes" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" FRAMEBORDER="No" framespacing="0">
</frameset>
</frameset>


on click (from the menu frame) call this function

HelpInfo

function HelpInfo(){
parent.help.location.href="webhelp/Printing_a_Statement.htm";
window.parent.application.cols="*,200";
}


From Above: help is the frame name / application is the frameset name. Can Netscape 6.2+ control framesets in the same manner as IE 5+? Is it simply something that I am missing on the context between the two browsers?
