re-size iframes to hold content without scrollbars

[beeswax]

does anyone have any code, or know of where I can find some, I can insert into a page which will allow an iframe to resize its height to fit its content? I've spent a fruitless couple of hours searching but haven't found anything that does what it says on the tin yet.

I'm pretty sure you have to set iframe widths and heights manually as it is essentially loading a separate frame (new browser window, in essence) of whatever content you tell it. If you really need what you're after, you should be able to achieve it with a DIV layer and some XMLHttpRequest to fetch the content.

I've googled it and seen a couple of ways it's supposed to work, one dhtml and the other javascript, but no matter how I try, I can't replicate it on my page(s).

A bit late but saw this whilst looking for something else

 

 

I believe the bit you want is - scrolling="auto"
