JavaScript - Can You Resize Dynamically Built Iframe
I am building iframes from database entries. Is it possible to resize them with an onclick event?
Similar TutorialsHi, I would like to know how I can use JavaScript to find the size of my iFrame and feed it to Shadowbox to launch the appropriate sized shadowbox on different browsers and resolutions. For me, the parent page is called 'demo.html' and the iFrame is 'gallery/archive_iframe.html'. Currently, the shadowbox is launched with a fixed height and width (which you will see in the HTML code below). The problem is that 'gallery/archive_iframe.html' displays differently on every browser and every resolution, causing unwanted horizontal and vertical scroll bars. An example can be seen he http://www.mikegermond.com/demo.html Here is the code that I use in 'demo.html' to launch the iFrame: Head Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="/shadowbox/libraries/mediaplayer/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/shadowbox/shadowbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src='/shadowbox/libraries/mediaplayer/swfobject.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function moveCloseLink(){
var cb=document.getElementById('sb-nav-close');
var tb=document.getElementById('sb-title');
if(tb) tb.appendChild(cb);
}
Shadowbox.init({
onOpen: moveCloseLink,
flvPlayer: '/shadowbox/player.swf',
language: 'en',
players: ["flv","iframe"],
flashParams: {allowfullscreen:'true'},
flashVars: {
skin: '/shadowbox/modieus.swf',
image: '/upload/demo-poster.jpg',
autostart: true
}
});
</script>
Body Code: <A HREF="/gallery/archive_iframe.html" rel="shadowbox;width=750;height=486" class="imgLink" title="Video Archive"><img src="gallery/videoarchive_thm.jpg" alt="Launch Video Archive (popup window)" width="260" height="162" border="0" /></A> What do I need to do in 'gallery/archive_iframe.html' if anything? My thought is that I need to wrap it in a DIV tag and find the width and height of that. And what do I need to do in 'demo.html'? I'd assume some code is needed to pull the dimensions discovered in my iframe document, and insert those into the link that launches Shadowbox. Consider me a JavaScript newbie! You're help is greatly appreciated!! Is there a way to resize an iframe dynamically so that you never get the scroll bar and essentially hide that there is an iframe? Better integration really. Basically I want to iframe a forum into my site so that the design down the sides and top which my friend does using iweb are not messed with. We have a central area which can be longer or shorter depending on the forum. Hey all! My supervisor is tasking me with having a webpage resize the windows media player dynamically based on the users resolution. I have tried everything I can think of to make this happen but no luck.

but of course, this doesn't work. Is it even possible?? If so, your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, M. Hi, Not sure if I worded that question right. I have a web page which will display another web page in an iframe. But the content inside the iframe may change while the user interacts with it so I need to be able to resize the iframe height from code on the page inside the iframe. Any tips on how I can do that? I am using php and javascript. Thanks. Hello, I have build a tree view forum, I have used the iframe tag to import it to my wordpress blog . I have a script that determine the size of the iframe on load: Code: <script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function calcHeight()
{
//find the height of the internal page
var the_height=
document.getElementById('the_iframe').contentWindow.
document.body.scrollHeight;
//change the height of the iframe
document.getElementById('the_iframe').height=
the_height;
}
//-->
</script>
The problem with the script is that the forum(tree view forum) only shows topics. I have another script that displays the contents of any issue only while clicking (Void). In actual the contents of each issue is charging ahead - but the resize function of the Iframe script not see it. How do I fix it, that the size of the Iframe will change automatically? Thanks alot Hi all, I have an iframe on my page and I added the following code to detect the iframe file height to avoid scrolling which is working fine. Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function setIframeHeight(iframeName) {
//var iframeWin = window.frames[iframeName];
var iframeEl = document.getElementById? document.getElementById(iframeName): document.all? document.all[iframeName]: null;
if (iframeEl) {
iframeEl.style.height = "auto"; // helps resize (for some) if new doc shorter than previous
//var docHt = getDocHeight(iframeWin.document);
// need to add to height to be sure it will all show
var h = alertSize();
var new_h = (h-148);
iframeEl.style.height = new_h + "px";
//alertSize();
}
}
function alertSize() {
var myHeight = 0;
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
//Non-IE
myHeight = window.innerHeight;
} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
} else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 4 compatible
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
//window.alert( 'Height = ' + myHeight );
return myHeight;
}

There is a form in the iframe and it is coming from a third party web site which I have no access. My problem is when a client submits the search form in the iframe search results page is higher than the search main page and half of search results page is not shown. Is there a way to sense that the page in the iframe is changed and resize the iframe height accordingly? Thanks Ceyhun Hi all let me start off by saying: "AAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAA" Feel better now! I have an iFrame which loads individual pages from my site, I am using javaScript to tell the iFrame to resize to the size of the page that is being loaded, the problem is when I click on the link the iFrame does not resize but if I click on the link again it does resize! The fuction is called but only the second time round. Also the none of the script works in FireFox! HELP PLZ! My Code: Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>

I have an iframe on my page which begins at 300x250. Onclick from an outside control (button), I have it resizing to 720x405. What I need it to do on that same click is change position on the page as well as resize (top, left.) Any way I can do this? Here's my resize script and the accoutrements with it... <!---Begin head section here---> <head> <!---Begin Style Section Here---> <style> .fauxButton { background: buttonface; font: menu; border: 1px outset white; cursor: default; padding-left: 6; padding-right: 6; padding-top: 2; padding-bottom: 1; border-top: 1px solid buttonhighlight; border-left: 1px solid buttonhighlight; border-right: 1px solid buttonshadow; border-bottom: 1px solid buttonshadow; height: 20px; } </style> <!---End Style Section Here---> <script language="JavaScript"> function resizeIframe(iframeId, iframeHeight, iframeWidth) { if (iframeWidth>0) { document.getElementById(iframeId).style.width=iframeWidth; } if (iframeHeight>0) { document.getElementById(iframeId).style.height=iframeHeight; } } </script> </head> <!---End head section here---> <body> <iframe name=video_iframe id=video_iframe frameborder="0" src="player.asp" scrolling=no allowtransparency="true" style="position:absolute; width:300px; height:250px; top:361px; left:720px;align:top; align:left; border:0px solid #FF0000; background-color:#FFFFFF; padding:0px 0 0; z-index:3;"> </iframe> <a id="widenButton" class=fauxButton onclick="resizeIframe('video_iframe', 420, 720);document.getElementById('widenButton').style.display='none';document.getElementById('narrowButt on').style.display='inline';" style="display:inline;">Wide -></a> <a id="narrowButton" class=fauxButton onclick="resizeIframe('video_iframe', 250, 300);document.getElementById('narrowButton').style.display='none';document.getElementById('widenButt on').style.display='inline';" style="display:none;"><- Narrow</a> </body> Thanks in advance, Miz Parker I am having difficulties with Internet Explorer and cannot find a solution online. The code in question is at http://www.blainegregson.com/news.php. The iFrame resizes for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari but not for IE. Also, I don't know javascript and thus found this code online. Here is the sample code: Code: <Script type="text/javascript">
function setIframeHeight(iframeName) {
var iframeEl = document.getElementById? document.getElementById(iframeName): document.all? document.all[iframeName]: null;
if (iframeEl) {
iframeEl.style.height = "auto";
// need to add to height to be sure it will all show
var h = alertSize(iframeName);
iframeEl.style.height =h + "px";
}
}
function alertSize(frameId) {
var myHeight = 0;
frame = document.getElementById(frameId);
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
//Non-IE
var getFFVersion=navigator.userAgent.substring(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")).split("/")[1];
var FFextraHeight=parseFloat(getFFVersion)>=0.1? 16 : 0;
myHeight=frame.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight+FFextraHeight;
} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
innerDoc = (frame.contentDocument) ? frame.contentDocument : frame.contentWindow.document;
myHeight= innerDoc.body.scrollHeight + 10;
//myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
} else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 4 compatible
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
//window.alert( 'Height = ' + myHeight );
return myHeight;
}

In my page, I have a main iframe where I want all the content of my links to be loaded. I want the iframe's height to resize according to the content. All the linked pages are in the same domain. I have tried some scripts I found, but nothing has the result I want. The HTML code is: Code: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>index</title> <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="nav"> <a href="home.html" target="frame">Home</a> <a href="the_band.html" target="frame">The Band</a> <a href="News.html" target="frame">News</a> <a href="gallery.html" target="frame">Gallery</a> <a href="contact.html" target="frame">Contact</a> </div> <iframe id="frame"></iframe> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> </html> The CSS code is: Code: div#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
div#header {
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;

I don't know how to make scripts on my own, so I would appreciate any help. Thank you! Hi there, I am looking to retrieve the hieght of the browser window, so that when my index page loads, it will automatically resize an iframe that i have to fill the remaining hieght of the window. The image above shows the location of the iframe, and the problem that i am facing. Currently, the height of the iframe is hardcoded. On my laptop screen the iframe looks as if it fills the remaining 100% of the height. However, when viewing this page on my 17in monitor, there is now an ugly white space. I would like to be able to dynamically change the height of the iframe, so that it can fill up that white space with more iframe height. (1) shows the current hard-coded height of the iframe, and (2) shows the height that i would like to be able to retrieve using javascript. If i can get this value, then i assume all i then need to do is to substract the number of pixels that are taken up by the image, and the two nav bars at the top. Hopefully this would then give me the iframe filling up all available white space. The code i have currently to set the iframe height is: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function setIframeHeight(iframeName) {
var iframeWin = window.frames[iframeName];
var iframeEl = document.getElementById? document.getElementById(iframeName): document.all? document.all[iframeName]: null;
if ( iframeEl && iframeWin ) {
iframeEl.style.height = "auto"; // helps resize (for some) if new doc shorter than previous
//var docHt = getDocHeight(iframeWin.document);
// need to add to height to be sure it will all show
iframeEl.style.height = 100 + "%";
alert(document.height);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setIframeHeight('ifrm');">
So, I am now able to change the height of the iframe when the page loads, i just now need to hopefully be able to get the value from (2) in the image, to make it all work out nicely. Is this possible? Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance Hi! I have a mysql database with a bunch of quotations in it. I created a blog at http://aro2220.blogspot.com At the top of the blog is an iframe window that directs to http://aro2220.com/blog On that page it uses php to pull out a random quote from the database. The iframe window displays that quote onto the blog. It works great except that the height is not automatically resizing. Is there a way I can use javascript to do this instead? Here is some pseudo-code of what I'd like to be able to do: (p.s. I do not know javascript or much of anything so I am looking for people to tell me how to ACTUALLY do this) Quote: var stringvariable = http://aro2220.com/blog/index.html; int stringlength = stringlength(stringvariable); int autosize = 200 + stringlength * 5; <iframe width="100%" frameborder="0" src="http://aro2220.com/blog" height=$autosize scrolling="no"></iframe> Obviously these are not real functions or proper syntax but hopefully it will paint a clear picture on what I am trying to do. http://isensors.com.sg/isensors-GJ/ That's the page I'm working on now, the script I'm using from he http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/m-89000/tm.htm posted by collide007. It allows me to resize my iframe when a new page loads in it, it's working fine on Chrome and Firefox. For safari, the iframe expands but does not contract when a smaller page is loaded in. The code doesn't even work in IE. <script type="text/javascript"> //Input the IDs of the IFRAMES you wish to dynamically resize to match its content height: //Separate each ID with a comma. Examples: ["myframe1", "myframe2"] or ["myframe"] or [] for none: var iframeids=["contentframe", "newsframe"] //Should script hide iframe from browsers that don't support this script (non IE5+/NS6+ browsers. Recommended): var iframehide="no" var getFFVersion=navigator.userAgent.substring(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")).split("/")[1] var FFextraHeight=parseFloat(getFFVersion)>=0.1? 3 : 0 //extra height in px to add to iframe in FireFox 1.0+ browsers function resizeCaller() { var dyniframe=new Array() for (i=0; i<=iframeids.length; i++){ var iframeid = iframeids[i]; if (document.getElementById) resizeIframe(iframeid) //reveal iframe for lower end browsers?

Thanks. Hello friends, I want to trigger click event on an iframe's element through the main window, Doing it both ways, with or without jquery, will be usable for me. Basically, what I want to do is, I have developed a website http://www.ipjugaad.com, and on every document download page, I have placed an fb like button, what I want to do is that the like button should be automatically clicked when a user click on download button on my website. Give me some idea about how to do it? I'm slowly scraping away errors from a page im working on and ive found this forum to be very helpful- down to one more that i wanted to post on. sample page is he http://darrenlasso.com/freelance/loo.../lookbook.html Works fine in most all browsers except for IE8- ive even had to include built in ie7 compatibility to get it to work at all. Problem is most likely associated with my js, which is: Code: function ShowPage(frame)
{
frames[0].location = frame+'.html'
}
and html is: Code: <div id="thumb1"><a onmouseover="ShowPage('frame1')"onclick="ShowPage('frame1')" rel="nofollow" target="mainbox"></a></div>
<div id="thumb2"><a onmouseover="ShowPage('frame2')"onclick="ShowPage('frame2')" rel="nofollow" target="mainbox"></a></div>
<div id="thumb3"><a onmouseover="ShowPage('frame3')"onclick="ShowPage('frame3')" rel="nofollow" target="mainbox"></a></div>
etc etc.. Which is just something i found online - probly isnt right for what im trying to accomplish. If you go to the site- you navigate by hovering over/clicking the images at the top and that loads a new page into the iframe below. Id like to be able to fix the errors and get it working without having to force ie7 compatibility if possible too. Any help is much appreciated Hello all I am new here but this place looked great and like one of the only places where I could find the answer to my question. I have created a page which pulls search results from various sites using PHP. It displays each result in a row in a table upon running. I wanted to add a button saying "More information" at which point, a div would appear and load the associated link for that search result within an iframe within the newly appeared div. I've been able to get a div appear and disappear on button click but, I couldn't get it to dynamically load an iframe on click with the associated search results link. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also let me know if you need more information before assisting. Thanks! I am having difficulty with the isNaN built-in function. Here is the code that I have written, with the event handler onchange, the function does not return the desired response. Any information would be appreciated... function checkNumber(fieldValue) { var numberCheck = isNaN(fieldValue); if (numberCheck == true) { window.alert("You must enter a numeric value!"); return false; } } Here is an example of the event handler code...one of three calls to this specific function... <input type="text" name="zip_billing" size="5" maxlength="5" onchange=" return checkNumber(this.value);" /> Hi' there Is there anyway to make a custom resize function that resizes one of my div elements on the webpage the same amount of pixels as the browser window gets resized? |
