Greetings all
If you document.close(), document.open(), then document.write() the
*contents* of a frame, and those contents are long enough to warrant a
scroll bar, Netscape 6.01 won't give you one.
If you try to fool it by loading a SPAN or DIV in to the frame that is large
enough to force a scrollbar, then replace the content with document.close(),
document.open(), document.write(), the scrollbar does not work (doesn't even
respond).
Is there a way to make this work? I can't find anything in Bugzilla. Do I
need to create a bug?
Test case. Create three files:
nsft.htm
<HTML>
<FRAMESET FRAMEBORDER="Yes" ROWS="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="blank.htm" SCROLLING="Yes" NAME="SomeFrame"
ID="SomeFrame"></FRAME>
<FRAME SRC="control.htm" SCROLLING="Yes" NAME="Control"
ID="Control"></FRAME>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
blank.htm
<HTML>
<BODY>
<!-- uncomment this to force a scrollbar that won't work after content is
dynamically changed
<SPAN STYLE="position: absolute;left: 0px; top: 0px;width: 1px; height:
5000px;"></SPAN>
-->
</BODY>
</HTML>
control.htm
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function Render()
{
alert( "about to dynamically render" );
var s = "";
for( var i = 0; i < 5000; i++ )
{
s += i + "<BR>"
}
with( window.top.frames[0].document )
{
close();
open();
write( s );
close();
}
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY ONLOAD="JavaScript:Render();">
</BODY>
</HTML>
