Topic awaiting preservation: Retrieve Frame size inside iframe. (Page 1 of 1)

Dears,

I'm wondering how I can retrieve the width and height of an iframe from the html page inside the iframe?

I thought this would work but I get the value <undefined>?

w = parent.document.frames([i]<framename>[/i]).width;

h = parent.document.frames([i]<framename>[/i]).height;

What am I doing wrong?

mmh, maybe just use square brackets [ ] where you have rounded ones. (..frames[].sdfas or frames.name.fsd)

Maybe even just: parent.frames["nameValue"].width

But if what you say is true then you shouldn't be using parent... Parent is to refer backwards or up in the frame hirechy, you want to move down/forwards.

Try this: frames[0].frames[0].height

Given that you only have 1 iframe in each document, otherwise you'll need to use the frame's name value.

Just remember that you should set both an "ID" and "NAME" attribiutes for the iframe as Mozilla doen't use the ID in the frames[] object, only the NAME value.

Although you could also get it through it's style values: frames["nameValue"].document.getElementById("idValue").style.width

When I get lost like this (in terms of the "parent" attribute) I like starting from the "top"

top.document.frames[<framename>].width;




.:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.

you're using a frame name instead of a frame id. the code below will retrieve the document length from within an iframe (dynamIframe is the iframe id)

document.getElementById("dynamIframe").body.scrollHeight
document.getElementById("dynamIframe").document.body.scrollHeight

It's one of those 2.

you seem so kind on answering those questions, but these threads are damn fucking old, and probably the oerson who asked does not visit this place anymore.
