My webpage consists of 3 frames(top, left and main). On event onclick in "main" I want to control the show /hide of "left" frame. The javascript has to work in both NS7.0 and IE6.0. A solution with sample javascript will be of great help. The HTML for mywebpage is given below.

<html> <head> <title>My webpage</title> </head>
<frameset rows="50,*" > <frame name="Top " src="Top.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="no">
< FRAMESET COLS= "200,*" > <FRAME name="Left" src="left.html" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5" scrolling="auto" > <FRAME name="main" src="main.html" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5" scrolling="auto" > </FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</html>

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your suggestion, I tried out the site suggested by you. And I tried to understand the javascript you put for the frame. As I am not very familiar with javascript I couldn't fully understand the logic of How you are showing/hiding the frame.

Could you pls. suggest me a sample script for my page given above. What I need is simple. I just want to control the show/ hide of my left frame from an event in my main frame. And when the frame is hidden it should not occupy any space on the screen.

Thanks

Thanks again Dave. You are right what I need is to simply toggle my "left" frame width to 0 or 200 inorder to create the Hide/Show functionality. I am able to easily do it in IE6.0 using
parent.myframeset.cols = '0,*'
parent.myframeset.cols = '200,*'

Unfortunately NS7.0 doesn't support this. I'm looking for a solution that works in NS7.0 as well.

I do not really need to drop and add the frames as you are doing. My intension is to gain more screen space for my main frame by hiding my left frame.

I did verified your Frameset pages . In IE6.0 the functionality works as intended. But in NS7.0 the Frame dropping and adding seems to be not working.
