I don't believe you. That code should not show any error.
You're not even calling the function.
Please don't post make-believe code and ask for help with it.

You don't need the comments around the code. They're obsolete.
You can't refere to an object by it's id name, use the
getElementById() method:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function brianIt(){
document.getElementById("brian").style.height = 12;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="brianIt()">

<iframe id="brian" width="105" src="index.asp">iFrame it</iframe>
</body>
</html>

The iframe does not have a style attribute so IE won't read it unless
you explicitly set it.

No DTD. Give it one.

<html>
<head>
<script>

<!--

Script hiding is obsolete and can actually cause problems in some DTD's

function brianIt(){
brian.style.height = 12;

document.frames['brian'].style.height = "12px";

The unit is required.

}

some say, the biggest bussines is where u fool and get
foold... i say...

i frames got no closing tags.
do you have to set the style var directly to the iframe tag?
so html is doing an object for style thats passed to
javascript.
the other way ist to speak directly to height without style.
correct?
