Java script to resize frames

**sythe** · Sep 30th, 2001, 07:22 AM

Okay, im using the <iframe> tag, and i want to be able to resize this using javaScript from INSIDE the frame. In other words the page in the frame can change the width of the frame whenever needed.
Does anyone have any clue as to how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Sythe, xxx

Use this:

Place this function in the parent HTML File, say try.htm

Code:

function adjustFrame (frame) {
  if (document.all) {
    var w = frame.document.body.scrollWidth;
    var h = frame.document.body.scrollHeight;
    document.all[frame.name].width = w;
    document.all[frame.name].height = h;
}
<body>
<iframe name=myframe src=test.htm>
</iframe>
</body>

In the HTML File that is loaded in the IFrame, call this:

Code:

Test.htm
------------
<body onload="adjustFrame (this);">

In the above function, the iFrame is sized to the size of the target document itself...so if u want to hard code the size change the w and h values conveniently.
