Javascript windows and frames

1

Hello!

I have a question regarding document object model with frames.
What i would like to know is… when browser loads a frameset, does that mean that frameset becomes a window object? If so, what is then the _parent or _top object of frameset? So, i guess that child objects…frames themselves are also window objects, containing documents. Oh, and maybe just one more thing…if we would set target attribute of a child obj (frame) to _top, where would it load - to frameset or normal browser window? Thanks in advance for any help or tips! :wink:

  1. when frames load, they are each like a smaller individual browser window. frames are pretty much just 1 window divided up, so there are like 2 or more diffferent ones, not one main one. sorry i cant answer the next part.

  2. i think that if the code was placed inside your frames tags, then it would show up in the frame, but if it was placed before them, then it would show up differently.

hope this helps

i have a question relationg to windows too. i have written a javascript command to open a flash in a separate borderless window but for some reason, the alignment is off. this is especially perplexing cuz none of the align tags in the html file for the page that opens seem to be woking. HELP!
