Hi,

I'm a real noob here biggrin.gif
So my question can seem a little too easy/obvious wink.gif

I have this:
CODE

<html>
    <frameset rows='170,*'>
    <frame name=nav src = nav.php4>
    <frame name=affiche src=retro.php4>
    </frameset>
</html>


And I would like to have something like this:
CODE

<html>
    <script>
        var browserName = ' ' + navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
        if (browserName.indexOf("chrome") >= 0) {
            <frameset rows='190,*'>;
        }
        else {
            <frameset rows='170,*'>;
        }
    </script>
    <frame name=nav src = nav.php4>
    <frame name=affiche src=retro.php4>
    </frameset>
</html>


But like you can image, this is not working.

Can someone help me to resolve my problem? wub.gif

Here's a script that in theory (I haven't tested) should change the frameset row height, if the browser's UA string contains the word "chrome":

CODE
<script>
function rows_height()
{
    var browserName = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
    if (browserName.indexOf("chrome") !=-1)
    {
        document.getElementsByTagName('frameset')[0].setAttribute('rows', '190,*');
    }
}
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', rows_height, false);
</script>

<frameset rows='170,*'>
<frame name=nav src = nav.php4>
<frame name=affiche src=retro.php4>
</frameset>

In other cases (or if javascript is disabled) the ROWS height defaults to the "170,*" set in the HTML.

Note that browsers are historically known to obfuscate their UA strings, so it's quite possible that non-Chrome browsers include the word "chrome" as well, now or in the future.

I agree with Christian, this is the wrong way to go. And even if you do stick with frames, modifying a frame for a specific browser is wrong. Find out why the page acts differently in Chrome instead. We can help you, but as Christian said we need to see the whole thing to be able to.
