Change scrolling property of a frame

[ejanakieff]

I have an html page that contains two frames:

<frameset border="0" frameSpacing="0" rows="310,*" frameBorder="0">
<frame name="F1" src="page1.html" frameBorder="NO" scrolling="NO">
<frame name="F2" src="page2.html" frameBorder="NO" scrolling="NO">
</frameset>

I need to change with javascript the scrolling property of one of the frames. I need to put this property to "yes" if the resolution of the client monitor is 800x600. I know how to get the resolution of the client, but i can't change the value of the scrolling property of the second frame.

Thanks,
Eva Janakieff

This is purely speculation - because I never use frames. For the most part they are completely unnecessary _{(see here for more info: thread253-1180038)}

If I were going to attempt this I would try something along the lines of:

document.frames[1].scrolling = "yes";

If you can't get this working I'd say you have 2 options: _{(I'd personally go with choice #2)}
[ol][li]Always leave scrolling turned on[/li][li]scrap the frames idea and use a <div> instead and set the overflow value to auto[/li][/ol]

Add "auto" for the frame that you want to scroll only when needed:

<frameset frameSpacing="0" rows="310,*">
<frame name="F1" src="page1.html" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no" />
<frame name="F2" src="page2.html" frameBorder="0" scrolling="auto" />
</frameset>
