enoctis Obsessive-Compulsive (I) Inmate From: Atlanta, GA - USA Insane since: Dec 2003	posted 12-20-2003 03:09 I am looking for a script to make an iframe autosize (height-wise) to the content that it contains. I can't seem to find this. Also, the iframe needs to resize upon *content load; not merely when the parent page is loaded. If anyone could help me, this would be GREATLY appreciated! -os2

To the page you're loading into the iframe add a onload function. Have the onload function calculate the page's height and then send it to a function in the parent window that resizes the iframe. The question was also posted either here or on the GN a while ago. So if you do a search you should be able to find some code examples for what I said. _________________________ "There are 10 kinds of people; those who know binary, those who don't and those who start counting at zero" - the Golden Ratio -
enoctis Obsessive-Compulsive (I) Inmate From: Atlanta, GA - USA Insane since: Dec 2003	posted 12-20-2003 14:27 That sounds like a good idea, and I know how to calculate a pages scroll height, but I can't seem to send that information to the parent window. I know this can be done - it's just a matter of finding out how. BTW - I did do a search for the autosizing iframe, but the results didn't contain what I was looking for; they were referring to the scripting for a virtual desktop in DHTML. Thanks though! -os2
