[Javascript] Re: Getting frame height and width

[phumes1 at home.com]

I have in previous emails. I have attached a screen capture of my template. 
It is done with frames.
Notice the file being pulled in (Frame B). This window is done with a 
<TEXTAREA>...</TEXTAREA> tags.

The code for the textarea is as follows:

<textarea cols="70" rows="25" name="textvar" id="textvar" wrap="off">

What I want to do is using Javascript (or anything) to figure out the width 
and height of frame "B" and
pass those coordinates to the "cols" and "rows" of the <textarea> tag. So 
when the window is resized
by the user the textarea will also resize accordingly.

 From previous emails is it my understanding that the "cols" & "rows" of 
the textarea is "characters"
and *not* pixels?
