| % | Row height can be specified as a percentage (e.g. "50%") |

Example
In our example, we first create an HTML document containing a frameset with two columns. Each column is set to 50% of the browser window:
<html>
<frameset id="main" rows="50%,50%">
<frame src="frame_rows.htm.html">
<frame src="frame_a.htm.html">
</frameset>
</html>
<frameset id="main" rows="50%,50%">
<frame src="frame_rows.htm.html">
<frame src="frame_a.htm.html">
</frameset>
</html>
The source code of "frame_rows.htm" is as follows:
Example
<html>
<head>
<script>
function changeRows()
{
parent.document.getElementById("main").rows="30%,70%"
}
function restoreRows()
{
parent.document.getElementById("main").rows="50%,50%"
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" onclick="changeRows()" value="Change row size">
<input type="button" onclick="restoreRows()" value="Restore row size">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<head>
<script>
function changeRows()
{
parent.document.getElementById("main").rows="30%,70%"
}
function restoreRows()
{
parent.document.getElementById("main").rows="50%,50%"
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" onclick="changeRows()" value="Change row size">
<input type="button" onclick="restoreRows()" value="Restore row size">
</form>
</body>
</html>
