JavaScript: Heavy Syntax Problem (or Bug??)

[arKtist]

do you know how to change a sub-sub-frameset that was defined following way..

<frameset name=f1 ..>
<frame ..>
<frame ..>
<frameset name=f2>


changing f1 over parent.document.body.cols or .rows = <whateva>. but how can i change f2???

i tried to name the subframeset as seen above with f2. but when i try to change parent.f2.document.body.cols all it does is settign a main frameset and destroying the sub-framesets. i made an alert dialog to get the value that is stored in f2 after doing the frameset in HTML - but it also jsut returned me the values of the top frameset.

have i to make up multiple files just with single framesets and then to cal lthe producedures in the sub-sub-subwindow that then calls the top-procedure?

i think its jsut a syntax problem so far.. can anyone help?

(the purpose of this all is hiding a navigation window that can be openeed again by right clicking; the only problem is that i use a sub-frameset here).

thanx for you help.
parent.f2.document.body.cols just gives me the settings for f1 back.

To alter a nested frameset, you'll need to put it in a frame of it's own. Thus:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>&lt;!-- index.html --&gt;
...
&lt;frameset ...&gt;
&lt;frame name=frame1 ...&gt;
&lt;frame name=frame2 ...&gt;
&lt;frame name=subframeset src=fs1.html&gt;
&lt;/frameset&gt;
...[/code]

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>&lt;!-- fs1.html --&gt;
...
&lt;frameset ...&gt;
&lt;frame ...&gt;
&lt;frame ...&gt;
&lt;/frameset&gt;[/code]

Then, you can change the subframeset by setting top.frames.subframeset.location to a new document.

I hope I correctly understood your question.
