When the user clicks a link, i would like the browser to edit an Iframe's height. The iframe's name is 'iframe1'. How could i do this, in either DHTML or Javascript?

first of all, assign the iframe an ID as well as a name.
<a href="whatever" onclick="resize('iframe1','200')">blag</a>
and then the function:
Code: Select all
function resize(objectID, newHeight) {
var objStyle = document.getElementById(objectID).style;
objStyle.height = newHeight + "px";
}
untested, but it should work (this would change iframe1's height to 200px). Note that you may have to explicitly define iframe1's height beforehand or it may not work.

what do you mean by
"assign the iframe an ID as well as a name. "
ID?

You want somthing like name and id eg.
Code: Select all
<iframe name="iframe1" id="iframe1">
in your iframe tag.
