It is wrong...

You can resize a frame...

parent.document.body.rows = "240, *"

or

parent.document.body.cols = "10, *"

This is a poorly worded response. Since we know a WINDOW can be resized very easily, window.resizeTo(x,y), I think they mean, "You cannot programmatically change a FRAME’s size. You can only set the size of a frame using the frameset tag. This tag cannot be modified by Javascript."

But since the person answering the questions was so sloppy in their choice of wording, I wouldn’t trust any answer from them.

I don't think this is completely true. In IE it's possible to resize a frameset with JavaScript. My problem is to find a similar solution for Netscape... If you know how to do this in Netscape, please notify me...
