Problem with Frames JavaScript and variables

**CaptainPinko** · Jun 24th, 2001, 03:34 PM

I don't feel like giving the why I need this but here it is:

This works:

Code:

<html>

<head>
	<title>Knowledge Forum Project</title>
	<script Language=JavaScript>
		var strFrameCols = "10%,*"
	</script>
</head>

<frameset rows = "10%,*,15%" border=0>
	<frame name = "fraHeader" src = "http://www.altavista.com" scrolling=no>
	<frameset cols = "10%,*">
		<frame name = "fraSideNav" src = "Navig.htm">
		<frame name = "fraMain" src = "" scrolling=yes>
	</frameset>
	<frame name = "fraBottNav" src = "Navig.htm" scrolling=auto>
</frameset>
</html>

but when I replace "10%,*" with strFrameCols, which has the same value, the page screws up. WHY?

Oh yeah I'm using IE 5.50 in WinME.

I'm also trying to access one variable from another frame. So that when I click on a button on one frame it would change the value of a variable that belongs to a page in a frame, is there anyway I could make the variable public maybe or something? Any ideas anyone....? PLZ!

	<title>Knowledge Forum Project</title>
	<script Language=JavaScript>
		var strFrameCols = "10%,*"
	</script>
</head>

<frameset rows = "10%,*,15%" border=0>
	<frame name = "fraHeader" src = "http://www.altavista.com" scrolling=no>
<script Language=JavaScript>

	document.write("<frameset cols = " +strFrameCols  + ">")
</script>

		<frame name = "fraSideNav" src = "Navig.htm">
		<frame name = "fraMain" src = "" scrolling=yes>
	</frameset>
	<frame name = "fraBottNav" src = "Navig.htm" scrolling=auto>
</frameset>
</html>
