Google remarketing tag - iframe height issue

Question

I've noticed that Google's remarketing code inserts an iframe at the bottom of my page. The problem is that the iframe messes up my layout (it's 13px high and leaves a blank white vertical space at the bottom).

I've tried to hide it with css but it's still visible in IE9:

iframe[name='google_conversion_frame'] { 
    height: 0 !important; 
    line-height: 0 !important; 
    font-size: 0 !important; 
}

Therefore I've got two questions:

a) how to hide this iframe in IE9

b) most importantly - is it safe or can it somehow affect the functionality of this script?

Answer 1

DO NOT USE THOSE OVERLY COMPLICATED ANSWERS. Simply use position:fixed; on that element to take it out of the document flow.

Like this:

iframe[name="google_conversion_frame"]{
    position:fixed;
}

That's it! You keep all original functionality AND you don't have to worry about API changes.

Answer 2

Here is my super simple minified solution:

/* Hide AdWords Remarketing iFrame */
iframe[name="google_conversion_frame"]{display:block; height:0;}

I tested and it works in Chrome, FireFox, and IE 10.

There are several ways to hide it of course, but why not have another option.

Answer 3

I added "border: none;" as my site auto inserted a border that showed a colour even when collapsed.

/* Hide AdWords Remarketing iFrame */
iframe[name="google_conversion_frame"] {
  height: 0;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  border: none;
  display: block;
}
