Very useful. I noticed that the solution makes use of the ".all" MSIE property. Is there a solution for the Netscape world? I have not as yet been able to get a pointer to the inner frameset that is also compatible with NN. Do you have a solution?

I was searching all day for a way to use CSS in framesets. <p>Specifically I was trying to bring up print preview automatically into the frame that I wanted without having to use IE6's print preview drop down box to choose 'Only the selected frame'.
<p>I found sprintX the free version allowed me to specify landscape, but I still had to content with changing the selected display.
<p>I used CSS to set the frames that I didn't want to print to visible: none;
<p>Then I found this js code to resize the frameset.
<p>Here's my code workaround.
function printPre() {
parent.document.all("Nav").all("Content").cols="0,0,*";
parent.document.all("Nav").rows ="0,*";
factory.printing.Preview();
parent.document.all("Nav").all("Content").cols="100,100,*";
parent.document.all("Nav").rows ="50,*";
}
<p>The content I want to print is in the biggest frame so I changed all other frames to '0' and then called the print preview. Then I change them all back. The preview works great and the Print out automatically defaults to "Only selected frame" so the print works too.
<p>Thanks for the solution.
