Dynamic IFrame Height, Not Working In Ie Without Refresh?
Mar 3, 2007
When i try to dynamically change the height of an iframe in ie through a java-script to match its content (a html page containing a flash movie, it doesn't resize the iframe at first, but when i reload the same page into the iFrame it resizes as planned, how come?This script works well in firefox, safari and netscape, but i cant get it to work in ie(8, 7). And i get the same problems with every resizing script i've tried. This is the script i use:
<script type="text/javascript">
function adjustIFrameSize(iframe)
{ [code].....
I have a flash menu in the first iframe, the buttons on the menu uses getURL(siteToLoad, "contents") to load another html-page into the iframe "contents". Is it possible to make the iFrame refresh automatically though javascript so that i just refreshes the iframe once? Everytime ive tried that it just ends up in a never ending refresh-loop... How can i make this work? Is there any better script for resizing (and refreshing after resize) the iframe height so that it matches to its content?
I've built in an iFrame that pulls in various other pages of variable height. Can you make this iFrame render its size based on it's src content ? I've been trying to use the scrollHeight of the frame but it isn't working. My current code:
Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function resizeIframe (frame) {[code]....
Basically my code always renders the scrollHeight at 150 but the test.html I'm pulling into the frame I've made a height of 500px ?
I am trying to get an iframe to have dynamic height - I want it to resize to fit the contents of the page.There is a four or five step process within the iframe. So for example, page 1 is rather short, and it'll have a link that sends you to page 2, which might be rather long.I have no control over the pages I am using in the iframe and they are on another domain.I have googled and and searched the forum and I've yet to find anything that works. A lot of them say they're not cross-browser compatible, but I haven't gotten anything to work how I'd like in any browser.I'd like to do it without jQuery.
In Opera, the dynamic resize of the iframe isn't working correctly. As you can see in the code, I have set a minimum height of 200px so the iFrame should always be a minimum height but if the content requires it will increase. It works fine in IE8, Safari, FF, Chrome but not in Opera. In Opera it just sets the height at 200px.
how to adjust the iframe height by itself if my html height increases. My html code includes a facebook comment at the bottom of my page and the comment will show making it expand the height once users post comments. On the other hand, I'm using a CMS that have its own iframe. I've tried many solutions that can be found on the web but none works. It only can work if I don't put in CMS. Is it possible to adjust the iframe height using CMS or there is no way?
I have this code in a page that appears in my iframe if requested from parent:
<script type="text/javascript"> parent.rrr(); </script> The parent code is: function rrr() { javascript:location.reload(true); }
So, the person clicks a link from the parent, it does a php process in a hidden iframe, which then tells the parent page to refresh. The only problem is that it puts Firefox in a constant loop of refreshing. IE and Chrome work fine. They refresh once and stop.
Though the src code opens the iframe like so: <iframe src="" style="display:none; height:1px;" name="hdplus" id="hdplus"></iframe> Firefox seems to refresh the page with the memory of the child page being in the iframe, constantly looping the child request to refresh the parent.
Why won't Firefox just accept that no page should load in the iframe, as stated in the code? I need to stop this loop, which means I need to get firefox to reset the iframe as it reloads the page.
Is there a way to resize an iframe dynamically so that you never get the scroll bar and essentially hide that there is an iframe? Better integration really.Basically I want to iframe a forum into my site so that the design down the sides and top which my friend does using iweb are not messed with.We have a central area which can be longer or shorter depending on the forum.
I have a page A and inside it I have an iframe B. B points to another php file that shows a form (so basically in the iframe we see a form). When I submit the form, I call to another page C that verifies the fields of the form and if they are ok I redirect to page X, if not I redirect to page Y. The problem is that I see page X and Y inside the iframe, and I want to see them in the parent page.
I have a function for a sliding div, you input the height you want it, and it performs lovely. Problem is, i don't know what height the div is going to be (its a help system contents so its ever changing) so i set out to get the height, but this is where i run into trouble, i can't seem to set the height in the function SlideUp or SlideDown, so i decided to set the height as a global variable (outside the functions) but it seems it can't as it doesn't know the height as the HTML has not initialized yet.
On the right site there is a box with a vertical scrollbar. It´s a DIV (id="right") with an iframe in it. Maybe I´ll put a DIV with overflow:auto in it but it doesn´t matter now.
The customer wants that this 'scrollbox' takes all available vertical space. That means it should start right under the header and end above the footer. But when there is much content and the user scrolls down the page the scrollbox has to stick under the top edge of the viewport.
Does anybody know how to realise this?
I think I can use JavaScript to get the y-position of the scrollbox and then change margin-top of the iframe or padding-bottom of DIV id="right" or whatever. Code:
I am trying to get the current height of an iframe in pixels. The code below will display the height as a percentage but thats not what I need. Is there a way to determined the iframe's current height in pixels even though I specify "height:52%"?
Does anyone know of how I could dynamically resize an iframe based on the content's height (for IE) so that no scrollbar appears for the iframe? The content will be from a different domain. I have searched on the web and have seen solution like this
<script> function resize() { var oframe = document.getElementById("frameID");
The html : <iframe onload="resize()" src=http://different.comain.content border="0" ....... > </iframe>
I have seen 2 solutions on the web, the only difference being lines (1) and (2) get substitued. My browser is version IE 6.
It seems that the solution with line (2) works perfectly when the content is from the same domain but gets a Permission Error if the domain is different.
When the content is from a different domain solution (1) does not give Permission error, but instead the scrollHeight is significantly smaller than the actual content. Even if the content is from the same domain it still gives the wrong size.
So my question is 1) What is the difference between oframe.document and oframe.Document, why does it give different results?
2) More importantly, how can I dynamically adjust the iframe size based on the content height from a different domain?
In order to make my site scalable (down to 1024x768), I need four layers to vertically scroll so that their contents doesn't force the main page to scroll. However, on higher resolutions, there'll be more space below the layers which means I don't necessarily want the layers to scroll if there's enough space to fit the text in.
I've tried CSS - I had to specify a height of 250px (the most I can use before main-page-scrolling takes effect in 1024x768) and set overflow: auto. The problem with this is that this is static formatting - no matter what resolution I use, the layers are always going to scroll because the height has been set to 250px.
So I was wondering if there's a way, either a CSS property/function (or maybe this can only be done in java script) - to make the layers scroll only if there's a risk of the main page scrolling?Or do I need to attack this with a crowbar and have a separate style sheet for every single resolution where I specify the height of the layers for each one?
In page load of an asp.net, I am creating some dynamic checkboxes. How can I use the javascript to refresh these checkboxes without loading the whole page?
I want to integrate a forum (phpbb) inside my custom made website. The problem is that there is no way to dynamically adjust the iframe height..I thought javascript would be the best way to do that, the problem is that i know nothing about JS... Here is my idea,
-2 scripts, 1 in the parent page (the one with the iframe tag) and the second one in the main forum page
-The script inside the parent page, would dynamically set the "height" parameter inside the iframe tag based on a value passed by the second script.
-The second script, inside the forum page, would read the entire content of the (document.body.scrollHeight) current page and sends its result to the first script.I have found a script that was supposed to do that, but for some reasons it doesnt work very well. Here is the link where i explain de problem with it: http:[url]....
I have site A that has an iframe and site B shows up in this iframe. I need to increase the height of the iframe according to the content in it from inside site B. I need some pushing in the right direction to get to some documentation or online resources.
i want to increase the iframe height dynamically . Actually, parent window open light box using iframe. Now i click on iframe content area button then iframe will be automatically increase height (on scroll bar appears) .
I've set the page up with an iframe because I figured then I would only have to update menu links on that main page and then there'd be less chance of missing a link somewhere along the way as new updates are added. I know this could probably be accomplished with .css, but I don't know how to do that either!
My problem is that the iframe won't adjust height to allow for the longer pages without adding scroll bar. My neighbor doesn't want it to look like its a separate box at all, so no borders and no scrolling can be used. I've tried the various solutions I've found online and either they do nothing or they stretch the page that's loading in the frame to ridiculous proportions AND still adds a scroll bar.
As I said, I haven't designed in several years and I never learned JavaScript at all. I suspect my problem is probably due to not understanding which bits of code I need to change to my iframe name. The IFrame SSI IV totally confuses me, though I do think that's the one that would ultimately work if I just knew where I was supposed to plug in my iframe name and target info.
My iframe name is, quite simply, "content" and the first page I want loaded (when someone first visits the site) is "whatisreiki.html" (my neighbor does Reiki on animals). The site is www.lovingtheanimals.com but I am working on this particular issue on www.lovingtheanimals.com/iframetest.html so that I don't totally screw up the site where visitors might be affected.
I've written a small plugin to serve as a feature rotator and am having one strange problem.You can see some demos of the plugin and documentation here:
http://pbskids.org/pbskidswidgets/carousel.html.The plugin does a number of things that involve reading the width and height of DOM elements and using them to set the width and height of other elements. The problem is that sometimes in Firefox and Safari, when the page loads, the widths and heights of panels in the carousel are fracked.
Reload the page and the problem's fixed. In Safari, I can't get it to happen again on many reloads. In Firefox, though, if I reload repeatedly, I can get the problem to happen again: maybe once every seven or eight times.It looks like something's happening with page loading, but I'm at a loss to diagnose it further: is the script firing before the elements have fully loaded sometimes, and then works on subsequent tries because those elements are in the cache? Also: I've never seen this error in any of the IE versions.
I have a page that has mulitple iframes each of which grabs a web page. he problem is I have no control over these web pages and some of them have a refresh if they are not the top browser, probably some code like this:
if (top.location != self.location) { top.location = self.location.href; }
Is there anyway I can prevent these occasional pges from taking control oer my main page?
Well first off all I would appricate any help that you could give me because I've been looking all over the internet for the solution without any result. So off to my problem, I made this text-based online game and let's say the user does a crime, he did this crime 17:04:30 and has to wait till 17:06:30 before he can do a crime again (this is printed in the MySQL database). Getting the value from the database and changing it into the right format mm:ss is no problem. The problem comes to when its about refreshing. I've tried meta refresh and javascript location.refresh with good results, i sat the timer to 1 sec and it refreshed The problem comes to when it refresh the mouse cursor and the tab (in firefox and chrome) gets that look, like when u refresh a page normally u can see an hourglass and all that. Is there anyway to disable that? And i think it really slows the browser down after a while (because after like 30 min or more firefox used 600 mb of my RAM).
I think I've finally figured out a good use for iframes, but I need a little help as my javascript is not up to scratch.
What I need is that when the iframe refreshes it gets content from a textarea on the parent page. I can get the iframe to refresh, but am stuck on how to get it to display the content of the parents textarea.
