RE: [xsl] Dynamic creation of frames & the data within

Thanks Chris for the info!

So far it has worked with IE not Netscape:

In Netscape this call has an error:
  document.frames("main").document.open("text/html", "replace")
The error is:
  document.frames is not a function

Should this be coded different for IE vs Netscape? Should I be using a
specific version of Netscape or IE?

Also, don't know about the other guy using my thread!

Linda,
As a beginner I can see you had problems with these 2 explanations.
Here is a frame html that will simply populate one frame.
Save the following to demo.html and put your xmlfile.xml and xslfile.xsl
files in the same place.
DEMO.HTML-----------------------------------
<html>

<head>
<title>Example</title>
<script language="javascript">
function populateFrames(){
//debugger;
     var x = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
     var s = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
     x.async = false
     s.async = false
     x.load("xmlfile.xml");
     s.load("xslfile.xsl");
     var html = x.transformNode(s);
     var destination = document.frames("main").document.open("text/html",
"replace");
     destination.write(html);
}
</script>
</head>

<frameset onload="populateFrames()" rows="64,*">
  <frame name="header" scrolling="no" noresize target="main">
  <frame name="main">
</frameset>

</html>
FINISH----------------------------------------

This doesn't need any html src files in the frame because it opens the
"main" frame document and writes the result of the transformation directly
into it.
var destination = document.frames("main").document.open("text/html",
"replace");
destination.write(html);
If you have an html files loaded in the "main" frame then you could do this
instead
var destination = document.frames("main").document.body.innerHTML = html;
It all depends on wether the result of your transform is a complete html
page or just a fragment of html.
