Variable Height for an Iframe on External server

Report · Mar 12, 2007

Our company is developing an internal website. we are using extensis portoflio to manage a showcase area and moveable type for a blog area. On the pages where the portfolio content will be pulled in we are using an iframe (this content lives on the same server as the webpage), I am able to get the height of the iframe for this page to resize depending on the content, in Firefox only in Explorer it cuts some of the iframe off. Can anyone help with this first.

Secondly and almost more IMPORTANTLY is the blog. I cannot get the height of the iframe to resize depdening on the content as it is on another server. I have tried every method out there!!!!!!!!!!!! Am at my wits end. The external server seems to be the issue, it's not even external it's just another server in our domain--**UGH**

Please help!

i was fighting with this issue recently and couldn't find a
cross-platform/browser solution

there's an example in dynamicdrive.com that works "almost" fine in IE &
FF (in FF it shows the vertical scroll bar while resizing) but fails in
Safari

Thanks for your help John, I had tried the one at dynamicdrive.com before and it didn't work, I must have done something wrong though last time, as it seems to be okay now?? I'll check back in an hour or so.

As far as the other on the external server, there seems to be now way out there to do this, is that what you've found. It is really frustrating, seems likeit should be an easy thing... but it never is, thanks again.
