I'm trying to get my fancyBox to expand in height when its contents are taller than the viewport. That way, the user scrolls its contents using the browser's scroll bar. Instead, my fancyBox keeps getting its own scroll bar.
I'm just using inline content, not an iframe
. These are the options I set:
$('.fancybox').fancybox({
autoSize: 'false',
fitToView: 'false',
maxWidth: 940
});
Adding scrolling: 'no'
cuts off the content at the bottom. Explicitly defining a really tall height works, but I want the height to be determined dynamically.
Boolean and integer values should go without quotes so this
$('.fancybox').fancybox({
autoSize: 'false',
fitToView: 'false',
maxWidth: 940
});
should be
$('.fancybox').fancybox({
autoSize: false, // shouldn't be true ?
fitToView: false,
maxWidth: 940
});
fitToView
is actually the option that gives you what you need but the quoted "false"
didn't make it work for you. On the other hand, I am not sure you should disable autoSize
because otherwise the inline
content won't get its own height.
Sounds a bit wierd. an ugly solution is to use css, overflow:hidden;
Whenever I use fancybox, the scrollbars work correctly. sure that the content oc the fancybox is not setting another height?
Edit: Viewed your example-site. Seems like there is some width beeing set in the content that is larger than the fancybox itself.
Should anybody look for the solution for an iframe, use:
parent.jQuery.fancybox.update();
