dynamically resizing columns w/in nested frameset???

i can resize a frameset's column widths whether it is a nested frameset
or not in ie6, but can not do it in mozilla.  does anybody have an idea
as to how to do this.  here is some sample code:

<frameset rows="50%, 50%">
    <frame src=...>
    <frameset id=nestedfrset cols="50%, 50%">
        <frame src=....>
        <frame src=....>
    </frameset>
</frameset>

from the following clientside jscript i can modify (physically) the
frameset' column width to "10%, 90%":

document.nestedfrset.cols="10%, 90%".

however, this only works in ie.  when i do it on mozilla or netscape7.0,
the value actually changes to "10%, 90%", but it doesn't physically
change on the screen.  it will work, however, if you modify the topmost
frameset.  i need to resize the inner frameset.
can someone please help me out, here?
thanks

Because in Mozilla, overflow:hidden divs were not scrollable by design 
(since the CSS spec states that overflow:hidden content should not be 
accessible by the user).  Now when the ability to scroll things via 
scrollLeft was added to Mozilla, it was decided to _not_ totally rewrite 
the handling of overflow:hidden in the process.  You can see the 
discussion at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62536#c44 that ensued.

(I've set the followup to the proper newsgroup)

"Don't try to do it in Mozilla 1.0/Netscape 7.0" is my idea....  It's 
fixed in 1.1 and newer versions.  I tried to find a decent workaround 
for 1.0, but never came up with a way to do it.

Accessing DOM in Java/LiveConnect

Hi,

I am trying to build a XUL/JS front-end to an existing Java API, which
operates on the Mozilla DOM. I am having trouble getting things to
work, so I would appreciate if I got some ideas on the following few
issues:

a) I am unable to make my Java package and the classes within it
visible to Javascript. I have included the path to these classes not
only in the CLASSPATH environment variable in the shell that starts
Mozilla, but also as a -classpath argument to the JRE from the Mozilla
JRE 1.3.1_02 plugin control panel. In either case, I get a
ClassNotFoundException. Note that my Java API is not encapsulated in
an applet. At best, it can be made available as a .jar file on the
client machine. Is this just a LiveConnect issue? Should I try
modifying the client machine's classpath programmatically? Any other
ideas or references.

(So far, I am able to call the java.*, sun.* and netscape.* packages
from Javascript. However, I am simply unable to make Javascript see
objects from other (custom) classes.)

b) I also see the Java DOM API as part of Blackwood project, a
Mozilla-Java bridge. Could somebody lead me to an example of using the
Java DOM API to access a Mozilla document object?

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much.

Try it with double quote like:
<img id="pic" onmouseover="pic1()" onmouseout="pic2()" src="pics/minusonly.gif">

No go.  Did it work for you?

I don't see the point of making only double quotes
for attributes work.  It didn't use to be the case
and I don't think such a requirement exists in the
DOM spec.

Re: changing image source no longer works in Mozilla 1.2

A quick workaround would be to load two img elements and swap the CSS 
display or z-index property. With z-index it would be more efficient but 
you will also have to use absolute positioning ;-)

Nope, :-(.  Which version of Mozilla are you using?
This functionality stopped working at Mozilla 1.2
for me (am using the Windows version) - upgrading to
1.2.1 didn't work.  Used to work in Mozilla 1.1.x...

So are you saying this will never be implemented? As the same thing applies
to frames and iframes. If the scrolling isn't set then I can't move it
dynamically.

Thanks for the reply, btw.

Ric.

I have no idea whether it will be implemented or not; now that you've 
read that thread you have all the information I do.  I'm pretty sure 
that jst has no plans to work on it, though.  So someone would have to 
step up and do it.
