That's my code. Basically, I have an iFrame whose source may change. I need the containing DIV to expand vertically to accomodate whatever is inside the iFrame.
I can't get it to work. Any ideas?
MY CODE
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Ruby on Rails: Welcome aboard</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="page">
<div id="content">
<div id='commentLoader' style="width: 500px;">
<iframe id="commentIframe" src="http://www.amazon.com" style="border-style: none; width: 100%; height: 100%"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
All the other methods will not work, because...
...Mozilla (and all other major browsers, as pointed out in paislee's comment) has this thing called the "Same Origin Policy" which states:
Essentially, Mozilla makes sure you cannot access another webpage's properties thru JavaScript because that would be a security hazard (for cookie hijacking and such I believe).
For example, here was a similar question when discussing an iframe for a page of the same origin; here is the answer as applied to your problem. As you can see in Firefox's error console, your "permission denied to access property document"...
Ok, so you have a couple of options now that you know you can't access the iframe's height thru JavaScript (because it is hosted on another domain):
Assuming 1 is not possible you have to use your server to access the webpage. The first option here would be to screen scrape the contents of the iFrame and then display it
I am assuming that what is loaded in the iframe is a set of comments (IDs kind of gave it away), and I will also take the liberty of assuming each comment has a fixed height or maximum height. In which case you could write a php script that loads the page, counts the amount of comments (regex) and then multiplies number that by comment height to determine the appropriate height of the iframe
Good luck,
At the very most you'll get an iFrame to be the size of the window, not the contents' height. And, as you seem to want it to expand, why not just make the iFrame 100% height of the window from the start?
If the iFrame's loaded from the same domain you can try the Iframe SSI script II. I used this script way back for a class project but you can give it a shot.
Call the below Javascript function in Iframe onload event.
e.g:
You've got single quotes around your CSS id. Replace them with double quotes like the rest of your code.
Change:
to:
I'm not sure I get your answer 100%, but if you want a container that expands vertically due to the content you can use jquery ajax. when you load content inside a it will generate a new height. give this div some style, and you have yourself a dynamic generated div height. basically, you will take this other page and put it on yours.
Do a search for cross-domain ajax. I've used it in the past and it wasn't pretty but worked!
