IFrame Resize To Content Height - Access Parent Document?
Sep 14, 2010
I have a webpage with an IFrame in it. The content for the IFrame could change per page and with it size. I don't want scrollbar's inside the IFrame but rather for the whole page. To accomplish this I must resize the height of the IFrame (width = fixed). But I can't seem to accomplish this. The links within the Iframe load the new content but I have to access the parent document to be able to resize the IFrame height. How I can resize the iframe from within javascript in the IFrame.
I have a parent document which has an iframe loaded in it. The iframe has an textfield element. I want to access this textfield element from the parent document. I have tried the following. But that doesn't work.
(from the parent) window.frames['frame01'].document.getElementById('idname')
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 3 table columns. Columns 1 and 3 have different colored backgrounds. Column 2 is white background and contains the content.I want the heights of columns 1 & 3 to increase according to the height or the amount of content in column 2.
I have a mysql database with a bunch of quotations in it. I created a blog at http:[url]....At the top of the blog is an iframe window that directs to http:[url]....On that page it uses php to pull out a random quote from the database. The iframe window displays that quote onto the blog.It works great except that the height is not automatically resizing.Is there a way I can use javascript to do this instead? Here is some pseudo-code of what I'd like to be able to do: (p.s. I do not know javascript or much of anything so I am looking for people to tell me how to ACTUALLY do this)

I wanted to resize the modal dialog based on the content of the modal dialog for that i used the following lines of code:
The 'document.body.scrollHeight' is not giving the exact height of the modal dialog bcos the button on the modal dialog are not completely visible to click for the user.
How to get the exact height of the modal dialog to resize it?
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.
The content is coming from an Ajax request. The content gets used more than once on the page for other purposes which is why I don't simply change the iframe src--I have to do an ajax request regardless so I'm trying to avoid multiple calls.
After I load the content, I need modify the height of the iframe so it fits snuggly around the content.
Calculating the height isn't a problem with the exception that it's not always correct and I think it's because the calculation is happening before images have downloaded.
I don't seem to be able to rely on a `load` or `ready` event to delay the calculation. The load event is the only one that tiggers on a change of iframe content, but it doesn't see the new content.
I've been able to get the iFrame to resize to the content - see this link - it's pretty simple. My only problem, is if the user clicks a link so that another page is displayed, the iFrame doesn't resize. It will only resize when the parent page is reloaded. So, not sure what to do about that.
(I do work with someone who writes Javascript and PHP, so they would know how to implement it if I found a solution).
I am using a WYSIWYG web editor (Serif WebPlus X4; for a whole range of reasons - please don't turn this thread into a discussion of the pros and cons of WYSIWYG! ). It has a tool to create a site search facility, whereby you add a text box to accept the search terms, and specify an iFrame in which the results appear. The source of the iFrame is not specified as a page, but rather the content is generated and inserted by the search JavaScript that runs when the user searches the page.
I really don't want the results to be in an iFrame, because I think it looks a mess when the page and the iFrame both scroll. To avoid this, I'm trying to get the iFrame to resize to fit the results, so it won't need to scroll. (Of course, the alternative would be to change the JavaScript so the results are placed directly onto a page rather than in an iFrame, but because of the way the WYSIWYG editor works, that's less straightforward).
I've found many scripts online that would let me change the size of the iFrame based on its content, but they all assume that the content is coming from a file saved on the server, and work by checking the height of the file's content, and inserting that value as the height of the iFrame. Now, the problem is that when I use these scripts they cause the iFrame to become 0px high, I assume because the frame doesn't have a fixed source that can be measured, but rather gets its content fed in from the search JavaScript.
Can anyone help me figure out a way to resize the frame even though its content is dynamically generated as the page with the frame is loaded? I've copied below the search script and the html page with the iFrame that needs to resize. Ideally, whatever solution I use shouldn't involve editing the .js file I've attached, since this is generated automatically by the WYSIWYG program.
Ive written some code to try and resize a page dependant on the content oof an iframe. Code is as follows:
window.onload=sizeAdj(); function sizeAdj() { var elFrame = document.getElementById('theFrame'); var elTable = document.getElementById('tableGrab'); var elDivMain = document.getElementById('main'); var elDivWrapper = document.getElementById('wrapper'); [Code]....
I originally thought that I would just be able to resize the iframe and the other elements would follow suit but as you can see Ive tried to resize the other encasing elements also. The code resizes partially in chrome but only to a certain point and not to the full height of the doc content.
I have been having an issue with this script to resize my iframe(ifr) based on the content loaded in it.I am half bald from this issue. Works perfect in IE7 & 8 but not in FF or Chrome.FF works "almost" - It resizes on first page loaded but doesn't resize if the iframe content is changed until refreshed. (example: If I load search results which shows 10 results and then click one and it loads the page which isn't as high as the search results page was then it just stays at the larger height until I refresh and then resizes correctly.)
Basically I created a nice Jquery function to resize a window to the content on an Iframe. Because the Iframe has PHP in it which pulls a list of stockists and Iframes dont Auto resize to fit its contents if it pulls extra info.
[Code]...
So this bit of code is embedded into my Iframe, all its suppose to do is get the documents (the Iframe's) current height then it selects the parent document ( the one containing the Iframe ) then it basically adds the height to the attributes.
THE PROBLEM: It works great, the first time you use it. BOOYAKASHAA. However when you click a another stockist on the list. A smaller list for example... it keeps the height of the document really big. So it initially makes the space bigger to accomadate the list. But does not go smaller afterwards?
I am trying to access the content of an iframe. I have search google and read a couple of other post, but my problem is a little bit more complicated. I can't use the ...contents().find("whatever") function though the result is of content type text/plain. In other words: There is not HTML is the result. The result cannot be tampered with either. Because contents, html and text are not really helping me I thought to use a counter. Whenever the length would be more than 1 I would show the result. But that doesn't seem to work either.
I load my website in iframe I have put Javascript for auto height, but in my iframe expendable / Collapsible bar is there when page load into javascript my bar is Collapsible so it takes auto height correct but when I expand my Collapsible bar my content is overlapping please give me the solution and I don't want scroll bar for iframe when content expand here is my page: [URL].
And here JavaScript which is I am using: <script type="text/javascript"> function doIframe(){ o = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe'); for(i=0;i<o.length;i++){ if (/"autoHeight"/.test(o[i].className)){ setHeight(o[i]); addEvent(o[i],'load', doIframe); } .....
First time posting here. Have been enjoying all the resources available to us, very helpful. My problem:
Recently started learning css / java - i have a web page with an iframe on the index pages within a div tag, which then loads all other pages into this iframe. The thing is i require the iframe to adjust its height size according to the content loaded.
After lots of searching a have come across only one that worked for me,however it only seems to work in IE and not firefox and the like.
I'm making a wordpress theme that will have a SMF forum incorporated into one of the pages. I've decided to use an iframe that calls in the forum (which is in the same domain), after trying several of the auto height scripts, including ones I used before with success, I got nothing. I'm not sure if it's a wordpress thing, but the scripts I'm so familiar with just don't want to work. Since forums change their height with all the different pages, this is an essential script for me. The only script (a new one) that somewhat works is the following:
Which eventually gets called with: Code: onload='javascript:resizeIframe(this);' inside the iframe tag.
Now, this seemed to work just fine, but now the height of the page gets added the more I browse. If for example I go to a topic with a lot of replies (meaning, a long page height) and I browse back to the index page, that extra height isn't gone. You can see what I mean here: [URL]. I was wondering if there is something that can be done to this script to stop this and properly resize the iframe. The other script I've used was: [URL]. Which worked great as you can see here: [URL].

Having a problem with iframe resizing when the iframe body is a jsp file which contains a dynamically built ajax table. Users select different options from a drop down. All but 1 is a standard static jsp file. The other is a jsp file with a dynamic ajax table which is generated the second the user select this option from the drop down. Problem is the javascript is not getting the correct height for the dynamically ajaxed jsp file.
Here is the iframe which is loading the contents file. <iframe id="Editor" name="Editor" src="" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" onLoad="resizeIframeToFitContent(this)"></iframe> Resize call: function resizeIframeToFitContent(iframe) { iframe.height = Editor.document.body.scrollHeight + 300; iframe.width = Editor.document.body.scrollWidth; } // resizeIframeToFitContent
As a current workaround I am adding 300 manually to the height this works but throws the height of the normal jsp files well out and makes the page to tall.
I'm looking for a script to change the height of a iframe depending on the loaded content. I found some scripts who let it work when a webpage loads in the iframe.
But when the height of the page changes by javascript animations.
Like a box is getting 200px higher by a javascript action. The page won't reload by this action so the iframe height remains in it's current height.
Anyone has a good script that the iframe height even changed on javascript commands?
I have the following script resizeing my iframe based on height. The problem is if my site is on one domain say http://mydomain.company.com and the target page is on another domain say http://anotherdomain.mycompany.com the script does not resize the page. I cannot add anything to the pages i am linking to because they live in a CVS repository so i cannot call a function or passs information in that way.
is there any way to make my script work? I'm so fustrated, I'm so close! help!
<!--this script auto resizes the height of the iframe based on contents--> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function resize_iframe(){ document.getElementById("_iframe").height=768 // required for mozilla/firefox bugs, value can be "", null, or integer document.getElementById('_iframe').height=window.frames["_iframe"].document.body.scrollHeight } // --> </script>
which uses the following iframe <iframe width=96% id="_iframe" name="_iframe" src="intro.htm" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" onload=resize_iframe();></iframe>
I'm looking for a good cross-domain iframe resizing script that adjusts its height based on its content. I have access to the html/css for the source of the iframe as well. Is there any out there?
