109322 - frameset.cols/rows not updated when user resizes frames

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P4)

Description

[Martin Honnen]

Frameset elements have a rows and a cols property which initially determines the
sizes of frames. The user can however resize a frame with the gui, by dragging a
frame border. IE6 (probably earlier IE versions too) in that case updates the
rows or cols property of the frameset to reflect the current setting while
Mozilla doesn't do that. I think the cols/rows properties need to be updated to
reflect the actual setting.
I will attach a test case demonstrating the problem.

Attachment: used for test case, sits in frame and reports resize events

Attachment: test case (drag the frame seperator to resize frames repeatedly and IE reports the actual rows value while Mozilla reports the initial value

So... how should this work in practice?  Say I have:

rows="1*,2*"

Should I see "1*,2*" for the value till I start dragging, then suddenly see
pixel values instead?

What about the case when the property is "1*,2*" and I resize the browser? 
Should the value be pixel values or "1*,2*"?

Please describe IE's behavior in detail...

IE changes from the initial value to percentages e.g.
  20%,80%

IE 5 did not change, shows *,* like mozilla

Not a mozilla1.0 stopper.
