Resizing iframe to size of src

[putts]

There was an older post out here on this and it is now closed, but I have a function that I think will work for it....

function checkSize()
{
var newHeight = alertWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
if(document.all)
if(document.all.item("alertWindow").scrollHeight > 0)
document.all.item("alertWindow").style.height = newHeight;
else
document.frames(alertWindow).height = newHeight;   
}

Works in IE, but haven't tested it in other browsers and am not too sure the proper attributes to set, so that may need some tweaking.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, putts. Thanks for posting your script. That should help a few iframe fanatics -- I've never touched the stuff myself, so far, but you never know.

well if you consider that with a resizable iframe you can load any page into the middle of your page.

You, then, have a technique for avoiding using javascript: confirms and vbscript: msgBoxes by just loading page validation, delete Continue/Cancels and the like into an iframe.

This, of course, helps get away from doing too many things client-side, which, I've found, you want to avoid if at all possible as Client-side always seem to scream "Please Hack Me" to many people who know what they're doing.
