Making an iframe take vertical space

Pravesh Singh 2174 13-Feb-2013

Hi!

I would like to have an iframe take as much vertical space as it needs to display its content and not display a scrollbar. Is it at all possible ?

Are there any workarounds?

Thanks in advance

Hi Pravesh!

This should set the IFRAME height to its content's height:

<script type="text/javascript">
       var height = document.getElementById('the_iframe').contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
               document.getElementById('the_iframe').height = the_height;
</script>


You may want to add scrolling="no" to your IFRAME to turn off the scrollbars.
