pwhitrow Bipolar (III) Inmate From: UK Insane since: Feb 2002	posted 11-20-2003 18:04 Guys, I have the following.. An iframe contained in a table thus: <table height="100%" width="100%"> <tr> <td> <iframe height="100%" width="100%" src="forum.html"></iframe> </td> </tr> </table> and a file named forum.html that contains thus: <html> <head> <title> Forum </title> </head> <frameset rows="44,250,*"> <frame src="forumCats.html" name="frame0" noresize> <frame src="forumThreads.php?CAT=main" name="frame1"> <frame src="forumViewer.php" name="frame2"> </frameset> <body> </body> </html> The problem is that when the bounding iframe is contained within the table cell, the frameset that is loaded into the iframe will not resize, remove the bounding iframe from the table and the frameset will resize. I need the frameset to be able to resize when contained within an iframe that is contained within a table cell (hope that all makes sense). PLEASE someone help me out on this..???

You want a frame(set) inside a (i)frame inside a table on a page? And you want to resize the inner frame to it's contents? First is this realy needed? since it will extremly slow down the loading of your page.... The table only show when it's fully loaded, which could only happen if the frame which is part of the contents is loaded which in turn has to load it's contents (the frameset) first. Now here is something you could try: -Replace the table with one or more divs. -Remove the height=100% and width=100% from the iframe. Now the iframe will not size to all it's outside space but grow with the content (the frameset). I strongly suggest you to not nest a frame inside a frame inside a table since none off these tags are meant to work in the way you used them and browsers are not meant to understand this. Thus browser could react very strange when you try..... __________________________________________ "Art has to be forgotten. Beauty must be realized." Piet Mondriaan

I have experimented with trying to have an iframe resize so that no scroll bars showed as new pages were loaded into the iframe. The solution I came up with involved javascript in the host page and the hosted page. In all, not a satisfactory solution. I would suggest you consider other options. You'd have much more control and better results if you could do this sort of combination of files on the server side (e.g.: PHP, ASP, JSP).

The iframe sits in a cell in the left of the table, and the viewed pages are loaded into the iframe, that's why I want to solve this instead of having to re-write the layouts... www.pwhitrow.com

Guys,

I have the following..

An iframe contained in a table thus:
<table height="100%" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<iframe height="100%" width="100%" src="forum.html"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

and a file named forum.html that contains thus:
<html>
<head>
<title> Forum </title>
</head>

<frameset rows="44,250,*">
<frame src="forumCats.html" name="frame0" noresize>
<frame src="forumThreads.php?CAT=main" name="frame1">
<frame src="forumViewer.php" name="frame2">
</frameset>

<body>
</body>
</html>

The problem is that when the bounding iframe is contained within the table cell, the frameset that is loaded into the iframe will not resize, remove the bounding iframe from the table and the frameset will resize.
I need the frameset to be able to resize when contained within an iframe that is contained within a table cell (hope that all makes sense).

PLEASE someone help me out on this..???
