flip/flop contents of a frame ? Yves-Alain.Nicollet@bull.net 02-24-2006

Hi.
I have a frameset with 3 frames that look like a T, with the top frame
containing buttons like a toolbar, the left frame usually containing a
dynamic TOC and the right frame containing the documents to view. In
the toolbar, I have a button that starts a search engine which results
I want to display in the left frame, hiding the TOC. Two buttons in the
toolbar should help choose to display either the TOC or the search
results in the left frame, but without reloading the TOC from the
server nor restarting the search engine.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks.

No, not without reloading the page containing the TOC or the search results.
You could use layers and then have them become visible or invisible by
clicking a button but then there would be no purpose in having frames.

So. Here comes another idea: create 3 vertical frames, the first one
with a width of 0 (or 1), holding the search results, the second with a
width of 300, holding the TOC, and the third with a width of what's
left for documents. How can I program my 2 buttons in the toolbar to
switch the width of the first and second frames (whatever browser is
used)?

It may be possible to do what you ask with JS. I'm not a JS guru so for me
finding a solution might take some time. I would start with an onClick event
that would change the width of two frames simultaneously. Try asking your
question in news:comp.lang.javascript
