Why does this not work in IE, but in Mozilla (and compatible)

Vincent van Beveren

I have the following (seemingly) useless piece of JavaScript

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function frameMe() {
s = "document.open( );";
s += "document.write ln('<html><fram eset rows=\"*,33%\"> ');\n";
s += "document.write ln('<frame src=\"' + document.locati on +
'\">');\n";
s += "document.write ln('<frame src=\"about:bla nk\">');\n";
s += "document.write ln('</frameset></html>');\n";
eval(s);
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<input type="button" onClick="frameM e();" value="Frame me! (again?)">
</body>
</html>

Now, in Firefox this works fine, but in IE, it doesn't. Does anyone
know why, and if it can be helped?

Thanks,
Vincent

Why no
document.close( );
call?
eval(s);
Why the eval, couldn't you simply have the function have
document.open() ;
document.write( ...);
document.close( );
calls?
</script>

</head>

<body>
<input type="button" onClick="frameM e();" value="Frame me! (again?)">
</body>
</html>

Well what happens with IE, do you get a script error, or what exactly
doesn't work?

Vincent,
Hmm...thats kinda neat....never thought of dynamically writing frames,
but it does seem to work. I worked out a way that works for firefox
and IE (see below). I tend to not like using frames since there are
usually other ways to do it without...but if you have some strange need
it could come in handy(I myself might have such a need). Eric

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

function frameMe() {
document.write( '<html><framese t rows=\"*,33%\"> <frame name=\"main\"
src=\"net.htm\" ><frame src=\"testme

..htm\"></frameset></html>');
window.frames.m ain.location="n et.htm"
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<input type="button" onClick="frameM e();" value="Frame me! (again?)">
</body>
</html>

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
