Help with frames

[tech_support]

Hi,

I was wondering if you can hide and show frames (like a script)?

Is it possible?
Can you make it slide?

Thanks in advance,

Like this?
I-Frame Scroller

In this one you can take off the frame...
Do this, take:

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* IFRAME Scroller script- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

//specify path to your external page:
var iframesrc="external.htm"

//You may change most attributes of iframe tag below, such as width and height:
document.write('<iframe id="datamain" src="'+iframesrc+'" width="150px" height="150px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="1" scrolling="no"></iframe>')

</script>

The highlited text, frameborder="1" Change it to frameborder=""
Example with out a frame

I think that what you want right?

How do you show and hide a script? Um, iframes may be shown or hidden in the usual manner for all HTML elements. There are many variations but the two basic methods are, to hide - set either the display style property to none or the visibility property to hidden. To reveal iframes hidden in these fashions set the display property to inline or the visibility property to visible, respectively:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showHideEl(id){
document.getElementById(id).style.visibility=document.getElementById(id).style.visibility=='hidden'? 'visible' : 'hidden';
}
</script>

<iframe id='test'></iframe><br>
<input type="button" value="Show/Hide" onclick="showHideEl('test')">

The main difference between display and visibility is that setting display to none takes the element out of the flow of the document, not even reserving a spot for it, often causing the layout to shift. Setting visibility to hidden leaves the element in place as well as its spot in the document, you just can't see it.

No, sorry I don't want iFrames.

I mean like a frame in a frameset.

I want to be able to press a button on another page and then the 'contents' frame to disappear. Not like just change the visibility, the display.

And, if possible, to have a 'slide' effect.

Sorry 'bout that

It's possible... but there are logic holes.

changing the frameset onmouseover or something would be awkward... even with a click.

Can you give a link or more info as to why this is the needed solution? It'll help make sense of the right method to do it as well.

Hi,

I need the solution for a web application I'm developing. I want the user to have the menu, and hide it so he can read the information. And, I'm not considering to use a JavaScript menu.

And, if possible, to make a slide in effect (Like I said before) for more special effect.

I don't need the Slide in Effect, but it would be nice if it was there

For example, the contents page is on the left and the page is on the right. On the page there is a button saying [Hide/Show Menu]. When the user clicks the [Hide/Show Menu] button, the "contents" page hides. And when the user clicks the [Hide/Show Menu] button again, the menu shows.

There are better or more complete ways to do this but, for what you describe, this should work and is well documented:

oopps. My bad again. "brain Fart"!!

[tech_support]

Oh, right! OK!

Thanks for the script

But now just one more question?

Can you make the frames slide in and out?

Thanks for your help!

Just applied the script and it works! (With a bit of adjusting)

Now, can you make it slide in?
