Yet another IFRAME question

totalstranger

Has anyone found a reasonable, simple way to determine the height of
variable length embedded data in a cross-domain IFRAME?

I'm not interested in reading or viewing the data in the IFRAME, I
simply want to make sure it's displayed without a scrollbar. To date all
my efforts have been rejected with a security violation, although I can
set the proper IFRAME height when it's on the same domain. Therefore,
I've been forced to place the IFRAME last and make its length longer
than anything that I feel may be reasonable to avoid a scroll bar.

Due to the need for keeping the IFRAME must be kept with its proper
because of an embedded submit, I've considered using a PHP script to
load the data as a Javascript function, execute the function with an
Ifram onload, set it into a hidden DIV as innerHTML, get the height of
the DIV, then apply the DIV height to the IFRAME. This link describes
the technique of setting up a (currently) legal method of doing this and
gave me the idea.

It just seems so way over the top just to set the height of a
cross-domain IFRAME.

Thank you

Arn

PS for those of you concerned over permissions, that's not an issue. I
own the data in the IFRAME and am providing it as a service to the other
domains.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
