Say, one has various contents loaded thru a iFrame component.
There is a button toggling this content on and off. The iFrame window does not resize now, and shows the full (maximum) length. To avoid this, the following code can be used.
// this is to be contained in the page loaded in a iFrame
// call toggleVisibility("myElementId") to toggle visibility of the element AND resize the iFrame
// resizing is done by this.parent.resizeMeNow()
<script type="text/javascript">
var e=null;
function toggleVisibility(id) {
if (e) { e.style.display="none"; this.parent.restoreMeNow(); }
e = document.getElementById(id);
if (e.style.display == 'block') e.style.display = 'none';
else e.style.display = 'block';
this.parent.resizeMeNow();
}
//-->
</script>
// this has to be contained in the parent page where the iFrame will be loaded.
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function resizeMeNow() {
var myNewHeight=document.getElementById('myIFrameId').contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
document.getElementById('myIFrameId').height=myNewHeight;
}
</script>
// add this attribute to the iFrame tag in this page:
onload="resizeMeNow()"
Of course, this (not resizing to smaller pages) also happens when several pages are loaded after each other in a iFrame. In this case you don't need the toggleVisibility-function and could use only onLoad="parent.resizeMeNow()" in the body tag.
