Sorry, onMouseEnter="iFrameHeight" doesn't work placed after the iframe tag... Nor does it work inside the body tag... I also tried onMouseEnter="iFrameHeight();" but nothing seems to work...

I know theres a way to treat that iframe as if it were a button... I think you almost hit it on the head too but unfortunately no cigar...

I also tried placing other commands like hold up... I think I got it to work the way it should... I am so happy... try this

Thanks to your suggestion I think I might be on to something...

I placed mad event handlers inside the iframe tag... I even made one up which seems to be the answer... Ever heard of "onMouseIn"...

Anyway this script inside the iframe tag itself seems to do the trick...

<iframe onLoad="iFrameHeight();" onUnload="iFrameHeight();" onMouseIn="iFrameHeight();" onMouseOver="iFrameHeight();" onMouseClick="iFrameHeight();" onMouseDown="iFrameHeight();" onMouseUp="iFrameHeight();" src="http://localhost/boards" scrolling="no" scroll="no" id="iframename" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" style="width:100%;"></iframe>

I really think I am on it now... My only question is I know I don't need all those tage but am not sure if some are semi dependent...

Please get back to me and try it out :)

I got it!... HOLY COW!!!... Almost 3 days stuck on this... I confirm it now works under IE6 and Mozilla 1.2 with no problems what so ever...

The iframe resizes perfect for every new page loaded into the iframe... All thats left now is to figure out what events are safe to remove... Heres the script in its entirety for the people who don't want to go *3* days trying to figure this out :)

---------start--snip--------

<html>
<head><title>Container</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function iFrameHeight() {
if(document.getElementById && !(document.all)) {
h = document.getElementById('iframename').contentDocument.body.scrollHeight;
document.getElementById('iframename').style.height = h;
}
else if(document.all) {
h = document.frames('iframename').document.body.scrollHeight;
document.all.iframename.style.height = h;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="iFrameHeight();">
<iframe onLoad="iFrameHeight();" onUnload="iFrameHeight();" onMouseIn="iFrameHeight();" onMouseOver="iFrameHeight();" onMouseClick="iFrameHeight();" onMouseDown="iFrameHeight();" onMouseUp="iFrameHeight();" src="http://localhost/" scrolling="no" scroll="no" id="iframename" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" style="width:100%;"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Major thanks goes out to Creator on this one... Thanks Creator as it was your idea and suggestion that led me in the right direction ;)

I hope it gets to work for you as it is a very cool script that helps in resizing iframes dynamically... Now I am off to figure out what events I don't need :)

Thanks again Creator :)

As for the iframe tag... it only needs one event... the onLoad event... onLoad="iFrameHeight();"...

It should start looking like this and this is the only modification needed... <iframe onLoad="iFrameHeight();" src="http://0.0.0.0/" scrolling="no" scroll="no" id="iframename" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" style="width:100%;"></iframe>

Though this script is working great trying to access IP numbers for some odd reason on some addresses and especially web address the height shrinks to about 150 to 200 pixels...

I am currently active trying to solve it... Any one have an idea?
