Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

FRAMESET — NN n/a IE 4 DOM 1

Synopsis

The FRAMESET object reflects the FRAMESET element. While Navigator knows about framesets as objects, it treats a frameset like any other window object. Internet Explorer 3 and later also observe this behavior. Therefore, for cross-platform access to FRAMESET properties and methods, see the window object listing in this chapter. But if you need access to the properties listed in this section, you must access the FRAMESET object via its frameset ID. Be aware that references to frameset objects shown in this section may not work properly in the Windows 95 version of Internet Explorer 4. Also, the windowRef placeholder may be filled with parent or top if the reference is in a script contained by a child frame.
