I need a solution for auto-adjusting the width and height of an iframe to barely fit its content. The point is that the width and height can be changed after the iframe has been loaded. I guess I need an event action to deal with the change in dimensions of the body contained in the iframe.
<script type="application/javascript">
function resizeIFrameToFitContent( iFrame ) {
iFrame.width = iFrame.contentWindow.document.body.scrollWidth;
iFrame.height = iFrame.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
}
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {
var iFrame = document.getElementById( 'iFrame1' );
resizeIFrameToFitContent( iFrame );
// or, to resize all iframes:
var iframes = document.querySelectorAll("iframe");
for( var i = 0; i < iframes.length; i++) {
resizeIFrameToFitContent( iframes[i] );
}
} );
</script>
<iframe src="usagelogs/default.aspx" id="iFrame1"></iframe>
one-liner solution for embeds:
starts with a min-size and increases to content size. no need for script tags.
<iframe src="http://URL_HERE.html" onload='javascript:(function(o){o.style.height=o.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+"px";}(this));' style="height:200px;width:100%;border:none;overflow:hidden;"></iframe>
Cross-browser jQuery plug-in.
Cross-bowser, cross domain library that uses mutationObserver to keep iFrame sized to the content and postMessage to communicate between iFrame and host page. Works with or without jQuery.
All solutions given thus far only account for a once off resize. You mention you want to be able to resize the iFrame after the contents are modified. In order to do this, you need to execute a function inside the iFrame (once the contents are changed, you need to fire an event to say that the contents have changed).
I was stuck with this for a while, as code inside the iFrame seemed limited to the DOM inside the iFrame (and couldn't edit the iFrame), and code executed outside the iFrame was stuck with the DOM outside the iFrame (and couldn't pick up an event coming from inside the iFrame).
The solution came from discovering (via assistance from a colleague) that jQuery can be told what DOM to use. In this case, the DOM of the parent window.
As such, code such as this does what you need (when run inside the iFrame) :
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery("#IDofControlFiringResizeEvent").click(function () {
var frame = $('#IDofiframeInMainWindow', window.parent.document);
var height = jQuery("#IDofContainerInsideiFrame").height();
frame.height(height + 15);
});
});
</script>
If the iframe content is from the same domain this should work great. It does require jQuery though.
$('#iframe_id').load(function () {
$(this).height($(this).contents().height());
$(this).width($(this).contents().width());
});
To have it resize dynamically you could do this:
<script language="javaScript">
<!--
function autoResize(){
$('#themeframe').height($('#themeframe').contents().height());
}
//-->
</script>
<iframe id="themeframe" onLoad="autoResize();" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" src="URL"></iframe>
Then on the page that the iframe loads add this:
<script language="javaScript">
function resize()
{
window.parent.autoResize();
}
$(window).on('resize', resize);
</script>
Here is a cross-browser solution if you don't want to use jQuery:
/**
* Resizes the given iFrame width so it fits its content
* #param e The iframe to resize
*/
function resizeIframeWidth(e){
// Set width of iframe according to its content
if (e.Document && e.Document.body.scrollWidth) //ie5+ syntax
e.width = e.contentWindow.document.body.scrollWidth;
else if (e.contentDocument && e.contentDocument.body.scrollWidth) //ns6+ & opera syntax
e.width = e.contentDocument.body.scrollWidth + 35;
else (e.contentDocument && e.contentDocument.body.offsetWidth) //standards compliant syntax – ie8
e.width = e.contentDocument.body.offsetWidth + 35;
}
After I have tried everything on the earth, this really works for me.
index.html
<style type="text/css">
html, body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
margin:0px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function autoResize(iframe) {
$(iframe).height($(iframe).contents().find('html').height());
}
</script>
<iframe src="http://iframe.domain.com" width="100%" height="100%" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" border="0" scrolling="auto" onload="autoResize(this);"></iframe>
I am using this code to autoadjust height of all iframes (with class autoHeight) when they loads on page. Tested and it works in IE, FF, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
function doIframe() {
var $iframes = $("iframe.autoHeight");
$iframes.each(function() {
var iframe = this;
$(iframe).load(function() {
setHeight(iframe);
});
});
}
function setHeight(e) {
e.height = e.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 35;
}
$(window).load(function() {
doIframe();
});
This is a solid proof solution
function resizer(id)
{
var doc=document.getElementById(id).contentWindow.document;
var body_ = doc.body, html_ = doc.documentElement;
var height = Math.max( body_.scrollHeight, body_.offsetHeight, html_.clientHeight, html_.scrollHeight, html_.offsetHeight );
var width = Math.max( body_.scrollWidth, body_.offsetWidth, html_.clientWidth, html_.scrollWidth, html_.offsetWidth );
document.getElementById(id).style.height=height;
document.getElementById(id).style.width=width;
}
the html
<IFRAME SRC="blah.php" id="iframe1" onLoad="resizer('iframe1');"></iframe>
Context
I had to do this myself in a context of a web-extension. This web-extension injects some piece of UI into each page, and this UI lives inside an iframe. The content inside the iframe is dynamic, so I had to readjust the width and height of the iframe itself.
I use React but the concept applies to every library.
My solution (this assumes that you control both the page and the iframe)
Inside the iframe I changed body styles to have really big dimensions. This will allow the elements inside to lay out using all the necessary space. Making width and height 100% didn't work for me (I guess because the iframe has a default width = 300px and height = 150px)
/* something like this */
body {
width: 99999px;
height: 99999px;
}
Then I injected all the iframe UI inside a div and gave it some styles
#ui-root {
display: 'inline-block';
}
After rendering my app inside this #ui-root (in React I do this inside componentDidMount) I compute the dimensions of this div and sync them to the parent page using window.postMessage:
let elRect = el.getBoundingClientRect()
window.parent.postMessage({
type: 'resize-iframe',
payload: {
width: elRect.width,
height: elRect.height
}
}, '*')
In the parent frame I do something like this:
window.addEventListener('message', (ev) => {
if(ev.data.type && ev.data.type === 'resize-iframe') {
iframe.style.width = ev.data.payload.width + 'px'
iframe.style.height = ev.data.payload.height + 'px'
}
}, false)
I slightly modified Garnaph's great solution above. It seemed like his solution modified the iframe size based upon the size right before the event. For my situation (email submission via an iframe) I needed the iframe height to change right after submission. For example show validation errors or "thank you" message after submission.
I just eliminated the nested click() function and put it into my iframe html:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
var frame = $('#IDofiframeInMainWindow', window.parent.document);
var height = jQuery("#IDofContainerInsideiFrame").height();
frame.height(height + 15);
});
</script>
Worked for me, but not sure about cross browser functionality.
all can not work using above methods.
javascript:
function resizer(id) {
var doc = document.getElementById(id).contentWindow.document;
var body_ = doc.body, html_ = doc.documentElement;
var height = Math.max(body_.scrollHeight, body_.offsetHeight, html_.clientHeight, html_.scrollHeight, html_.offsetHeight);
var width = Math.max(body_.scrollWidth, body_.offsetWidth, html_.clientWidth, html_.scrollWidth, html_.offsetWidth);
document.getElementById(id).style.height = height;
document.getElementById(id).style.width = width;
}
html:
<div style="background-color:#b6ff00;min-height:768px;line-height:inherit;height:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;overflow:visible" id="mainDiv" >
<input id="txtHeight"/>height <input id="txtWidth"/>width
<iframe src="head.html" name="topFrame" scrolling="No" noresize="noresize" id="topFrame" title="topFrame" style="width:100%; height: 47px" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
<iframe src="left.aspx" name="leftFrame" scrolling="yes" id="Iframe1" title="leftFrame" onload="resizer('Iframe1');" style="top:0px;left:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;width: 30%; border:none;border-spacing:0px; justify-content:space-around;" ></iframe>
<iframe src="index.aspx" name="mainFrame" id="Iframe2" title="mainFrame" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" style="width: 65%; height:100%; overflow:visible;overflow-x:visible;overflow-y:visible; " onload="resizer('Iframe2');" ></iframe>
</div>
Env: IE 10, Windows 7 x64
I figured out another solution after some experimenting. I originally tried the code marked as 'best answer' to this question and it didn't work. My guess is because my iframe in my program at the time was dynamically generated. Here is the code I used (it worked for me):
Javascript inside the iframe that is being loaded:
window.onload = function()
{
parent.document.getElementById('fileUploadIframe').style.height = document.body.clientHeight+5+'px';
parent.document.getElementById('fileUploadIframe').style.width = document.body.clientWidth+18+'px';
};
It is necessary to add 4 or more pixels to the height to remove scroll bars (some weird bug/effect of iframes). The width is even stranger, you are safe to add 18px to the width of the body. Also make sure that you have the css for the iframe body applied (below).
html, body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
display:table;
}
iframe {
border:0;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
Here is the html for the iframe:
<iframe id="fileUploadIframe" src="php/upload/singleUpload.html"></iframe>
Here is all the code within my iframe:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>File Upload</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
display:table;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function()
{
parent.document.getElementById('fileUploadIframe').style.height = document.body.clientHeight+5+'px';
parent.document.getElementById('fileUploadIframe').style.width = document.body.clientWidth+18+'px';
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
This is a test.<br>

</body>
</html>
I have done testing in chrome and a little in firefox (in windows xp). I still have more testing to do, so please tell me how this works for you.
If you can control both IFRAME content and parent window then you need the iFrame Resizer.
This library enables the automatic resizing of the height and width of both same and cross domain iFrames to fit their contained content. It provides a range of features to address the most common issues with using iFrames, these include:
Height and width resizing of the iFrame to content size.
Works with multiple and nested iFrames.
Domain authentication for cross domain iFrames.
Provides a range of page size calculation methods to support complex CSS layouts.
Detects changes to the DOM that can cause the page to resize using MutationObserver.
Detects events that can cause the page to resize (Window Resize, CSS Animation and Transition, Orientation Change and Mouse events).
Simplified messaging between iFrame and host page via postMessage.
Fixes in page links in iFrame and supports links between the iFrame and parent page.
Provides custom sizing and scrolling methods.
Exposes parent position and viewport size to the iFrame.
Works with ViewerJS to support PDF and ODF documents.
Fallback support down to IE8.
If you can live with a fixed aspect ratio and you would like a responsive iframe, this code will be useful to you. It's just CSS rules.
.iframe-container {
overflow: hidden;
/* Calculated from the aspect ration of the content (in case of 16:9 it is 9/16=
0.5625) */
padding-top: 56.25%;
position: relative;
}
.iframe-container iframe {
border: 0;
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
The iframe must have a div as container.
<div class="iframe-container">
<iframe src="http://example.org"></iframe>
</div>
The source code is based on this site and Ben Marshall has a good explanation.
I have been reading a lot of the answers here but nearly everyone gave some sort of cross-origin frame block.
Example error:
Uncaught DOMException: Blocked a frame with origin "null" from
accessing a cross-origin frame.
The same for the answers in a related thread:
Make iframe automatically adjust height according to the contents without using scrollbar?
I do not want to use a third party library like iFrame Resizer or similar library either.
The answer from #bboydflo is close but I'm missing a complete example. https://stackoverflow.com/a/52204841/3850405
I'm using width="100%" for the iframe but the code can be modified to work with width as well.
This is how I solved setting a custom height for the iframe:
Embedded iframe:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="description"
content="Web site" />
<title>Test with embedded iframe</title>
</head>
<body>
<noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.</noscript>
<div id="root"></div>
<iframe id="ifrm" src="https://localhost:44335/package/details?key=123" width="100%"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEventListener('message', receiveMessage, false);
function receiveMessage(evt) {
console.log("Got message: " + JSON.stringify(evt.data) + " from origin: " + evt.origin);
// Do we trust the sender of this message?
if (evt.origin !== "https://localhost:44335") {
return;
}
if (evt.data.type === "frame-resized") {
document.getElementById("ifrm").style.height = evt.data.value + "px";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
iframe source, example from Create React App but only HTML and JS is used.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="description"
content="Web site created using create-react-app" />
<title>React App</title>
</head>
<body>
<noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.</noscript>
<div id="root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Don't run unless in an iframe
if (self !== top) {
var rootHeight;
setInterval(function () {
var rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
if (rootElement) {
var currentRootHeight = rootElement.offsetHeight;
//Only send values if height has changed since last time
if (rootHeight !== currentRootHeight) {
//postMessage to set iframe height
window.parent.postMessage({ "type": "frame-resized", "value": currentRootHeight }, '*');
rootHeight = currentRootHeight;
}
}
}
, 1000);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
The code with setInterval can of course be modified but it works really well with dynamic content. setInterval only activates if the content is embedded in a iframe and postMessage only sends a message when height has changed.
You can read more about Window.postMessage() here but the description fits very good in what we want to achieve:
The window.postMessage() method safely enables cross-origin
communication between Window objects; e.g., between a page and a
pop-up that it spawned, or between a page and an iframe embedded
within it.
Normally, scripts on different pages are allowed to access each other
if and only if the pages they originate from share the same protocol,
port number, and host (also known as the "same-origin policy").
window.postMessage() provides a controlled mechanism to securely
circumvent this restriction (if used properly).
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage
If you want 100% width and height for iframe I would do it like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="description"
content="Web site" />
<style>
body {
margin: 0; /* Reset default margin */
}
iframe {
display: block; /* iframes are inline by default */
background: #000;
border: none; /* Reset default border */
height: 100vh; /* Viewport-relative units */
width: 100vw;
}
</style>
<title>Test with embedded iframe</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="https://localhost:44335/package/details?key=123"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

It is possible to make a "ghost-like" IFrame that acts like it was not there.
See http://codecopy.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/ghost-iframe-crossdomain-iframe-resize/
Basically you use the event system parent.postMessage(..) described in
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.postMessage
This works an all modern browsers!
Here are several methods:
<body style="margin:0px;padding:0px;overflow:hidden">
<iframe src="http://www.example.com" frameborder="0" style="overflow:hidden;height:100%;width:100%" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe>
</body>
AND ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE
<body style="margin:0px;padding:0px;overflow:hidden">
<iframe src="http://www.example.com" frameborder="0" style="overflow:hidden;overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:hidden;height:100%;width:100%;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe>
</body>
TO HIDE SCROLLING WITH 2 ALTERNATIVES AS SHOWN ABOVE
<body style="margin:0px;padding:0px;overflow:hidden">
<iframe src="http://www.example.com" frameborder="0" style="overflow:hidden;height:150%;width:150%" height="150%" width="150%"></iframe>
</body>
HACK WITH SECOND CODE
<body style="margin:0px;padding:0px;overflow:hidden">
<iframe src="http://www.example.com" frameborder="0" style="overflow:hidden;overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:hidden;height:150%;width:150%;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px" height="150%" width="150%"></iframe>
</body>
To hide the scroll-bars of the iFrame, the parent is made "overflow:hidden" to hide scrollbars and the iFrame is made to go upto 150% width and height which forces the scroll-bars outside the page and since the body doesn't have scroll-bars one may not expect the iframe to be exceeding the bounds of the page. This hides the scrollbars of the iFrame with full width!
source: set iframe auto height
In case someone getting to here:
I had a problem with the solutions when I removed divs from the iframe - the iframe didnt got shorter.
There is an Jquery plugin that does the job:
http://www.jqueryscript.net/layout/jQuery-Plugin-For-Auto-Resizing-iFrame-iFrame-Resizer.html
I found this resizer to work better:
function resizer(id)
{
var doc = document.getElementById(id).contentWindow.document;
var body_ = doc.body;
var html_ = doc.documentElement;
var height = Math.max( body_.scrollHeight, body_.offsetHeight, html_.clientHeight, html_.scrollHeight, html_.offsetHeight );
var width = Math.max( body_.scrollWidth, body_.offsetWidth, html_.clientWidth, html_.scrollWidth, html_.offsetWidth );
document.getElementById(id).height = height;
document.getElementById(id).width = width;
}
Note the style object is removed.
In jQuery, this is the best option to me, that really help me!! I wait that help you!
iframe
<iframe src="" frameborder="0" id="iframe" width="100%"></iframe>
jQuery
<script>
var valueSize = $( "#iframe" ).offset();
var totalsize = (valueSize.top * 2) + valueSize.left;
$( "#iframe" ).height(totalsize);
</script>
Clearly there are lots of scenarios, however, I had same domain for document and iframe and I was able to tack this on to the end of my iframe content:
var parentContainer = parent.document.querySelector("iframe[src*=\"" + window.location.pathname + "\"]");
parentContainer.style.height = document.body.scrollHeight + 50 + 'px';
This 'finds' the parent container and then sets the length adding on a fudge factor of 50 pixels to remove the scroll bar.
There is nothing there to 'observe' the document height changing, this I did not need for my use case. In my answer I do bring a means of referencing the parent container without using ids baked into the parent/iframe content.
function resizeIFrameToFitContent(frame) {
if (frame == null) {
return true;
}
var docEl = null;
var isFirefox = navigator.userAgent.search("Firefox") >= 0;
if (isFirefox && frame.contentDocument != null) {
docEl = frame.contentDocument.documentElement;
} else if (frame.contentWindow != null) {
docEl = frame.contentWindow.document.body;
}
if (docEl == null) {
return;
}
var maxWidth = docEl.scrollWidth;
var maxHeight = (isFirefox ? (docEl.offsetHeight + 15) : (docEl.scrollHeight + 45));
frame.width = maxWidth;
frame.height = maxHeight;
frame.style.width = frame.width + "px";
frame.style.height = frame.height + "px";
if (maxHeight > 20) {
frame.height = maxHeight;
frame.style.height = frame.height + "px";
} else {
frame.style.height = "100%";
}
if (maxWidth > 0) {
frame.width = maxWidth;
frame.style.width = frame.width + "px";
} else {
frame.style.width = "100%";
}
}
ifram style:
.myIFrameStyle {
float: left;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px;
border: 1px solid gray;
overflow: hidden;
}
iframe tag:
<iframe id="myIframe" src="" class="myIFrameStyle"> </iframe>
Script tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('myIFrame').load(function () {
resizeIFrameToFitContent(this);
});
});
</script>
This is how I would do it (tested in FF/Chrome):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function autoResize(iframe) {
$(iframe).height($(iframe).contents().find('html').height());
}
</script>
<iframe src="page.html" width="100%" height="100" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" onload="autoResize(this);"></iframe>
I know the post is old, but I believe this is yet another way to do it. I just implemented on my code. Works perfectly both on page load and on page resize:
var videoHeight;
var videoWidth;
var iframeHeight;
var iframeWidth;
function resizeIframe(){
videoHeight = $('.video-container').height();//iframe parent div's height
videoWidth = $('.video-container').width();//iframe parent div's width
iframeHeight = $('.youtubeFrames').height(videoHeight);//iframe's height
iframeWidth = $('.youtubeFrames').width(videoWidth);//iframe's width
}
resizeIframe();
$(window).on('resize', function(){
resizeIframe();
});
Javascript to be placed in header:
function resizeIframe(obj) {
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
Here goes iframe html code:
<iframe class="spec_iframe" seamless="seamless" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="iframe" onload="javascript:resizeIframe(this);" src="somepage.php" style="height: 1726px;"></iframe>
Css stylesheet
>
.spec_iframe {
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
For angularjs directive attribute:
G.directive ( 'previewIframe', function () {
return {
restrict : 'A',
replace : true,
scope : true,
link : function ( scope, elem, attrs ) {
elem.on ( 'load', function ( e ) {
var currentH = this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
this.style.height = eval( currentH ) + ( (25 / 100)* eval( currentH ) ) + 'px';
} );
}
};
} );
Notice the percentage, i inserted it so that you can counter scaling usually done for iframe, text, ads etc, simply put 0 if no scaling is implementation
This is how I did it onload or when things change.
parent.jQuery("#frame").height(document.body.scrollHeight+50);
If you are looking for a no jQuery cross-origin solution, you might want to look at my idea:
<main id="container"></main>
<script>
fetch('https://example.com').then(response => {
return response.text();
}).then(data => {
const iframeContainer = window.document.getElementById('container');
const iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.frameBorder = 'none';
iframe.width = '100%';
iframe.addEventListener("load", function() {
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
})
const finalHtml = data;
const blob = new Blob([finalHtml], {type: 'text/html'});
iframe.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
iframeContainer.appendChild(iframe);
})
</script>
The easiest way is to set the height for the iframe if you know what the height of the document is and if it's fixed.

Ok, I thought this would be really simple, but it's turning out not to be. I think I'm just messing something up in my HTML/CSS, but here goes.
I have a basic page like so:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href='test2.css' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="test2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="scroll"></div>
</body>
</html>
test2.css
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#scroll {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: scroll;
background-color: black;
}
test2.js
$(document).ready(function() {
// my resolution is 1440x900
alert('innerwidth should be 1425');
// all of these return 1440
alert('body innerwidth: ' + $('body').innerWidth());
alert('document width: ' + $(document).width());
alert('window width: ' + $(window).width());
alert('scroll div innerwidth: ' + $('#scroll').innerWidth());
alert('document.documentElement.clientWidth: ' + document.documentElement.clientWidth);
alert('document.documentElement.scrollWidth: ' + document.documentElement.scrollWidth);
});
So I've got one element on the page... a div that takes up the entire screen, or rather it should be taking up the entire screen minus the scrollbars. Now, I've been doing some snooping on how to grab the width and height of a page without the scrollbars, but unfortunately, none of them return the proper value... which makes me believe I'm missing the boat in my HTML or CSS.
I looked at the following:
jquery - how to get screen width without scrollbar?
how to get the browser window size without the scroll bars
So what I need is for a method to return the value of my viewable screen minus the respective scrollbar value... so for my width, my value should be 1425 because the scrollbar is 15 pixels wide. I thought that's what innerWidth's job was, but apparently I'm wrong?
Can anyone provide any insight? (I'm running Firefox 24.)
EDIT
To add some background, I've got a blank page. I will be adding elements one by one to this page, and I need to use the width of the page when calculating the sizes for these elements. Eventually, this page will grow and grow until the scrollbar appears, which is why I'm trying to force the scrollbar there from the start, but apparently, that still doesn't do anything.
EDIT2
Here's something even more interesting... if I do document.getElementById('scroll').clientWidth, I get the proper innerWidth, but if I do $('#scroll').width() or $('#scroll').innerWidth(), they both return the max resolution... sounds like a jQuery bug.
I got this somewhere and would give credit if I knew where, but this has been succesfull for me. I added the result as padding when setting the html overflow to hidden.
Problem is that the scrollbar is a feature of the browser and not the web page self. Measurement should be done dynamically. A measurement with a scrollbar and a measurement without a scrollbar will resolve into calculating the difference in width.
Found the source: http://www.fleegix.org/articles/2006/05/30/getting-the-scrollbar-width-in-pixels
scrollCompensate = function () {
var inner = document.createElement('p');
inner.style.width = "100%";
inner.style.height = "200px";
var outer = document.createElement('div');
outer.style.position = "absolute";
outer.style.top = "0px";
outer.style.left = "0px";
outer.style.visibility = "hidden";
outer.style.width = "200px";
outer.style.height = "150px";
outer.style.overflow = "hidden";
outer.appendChild(inner);
document.body.appendChild(outer);
var w1 = inner.offsetWidth;
outer.style.overflow = 'scroll';
var w2 = inner.offsetWidth;
if (w1 == w2) w2 = outer.clientWidth;
document.body.removeChild(outer);
return (w1 - w2);
}
var htmlpadding = scrollCompensate();
The correct answer is in this post marked as accepted:
CSS media queries and JavaScript window width do not match
This is the correct code:
function viewport() {
var e = window, a = 'inner';
if (!('innerWidth' in window )) {
a = 'client';
e = document.documentElement || document.body;
}
return { width : e[ a+'Width' ] , height : e[ a+'Height' ] };
}
Discovered a very hacky solution... by adding this before my alerts in test2.js, I get the proper width:
var p = $('body').append('<p style="height: 100%; width: 100%;"></p>');
alert(p.width());
$('body').remove('p');
And consequently, all of the alerts now have the proper width. I also don't even need overflow-y in the CSS if I do it this way. Curious why this solves it...
The real answer should be keeping the HTML and CSS as is, then using document.getElementById('scroll').clientWidth. Using clientWidth gets the viewable area minus the scrollbar width.
The correct width of the page is given by $(document).width().
Your problem is that you're using a scroll within the div (overflow: scroll).
Using $(document).width() the returned value is already discounting the visible width of the scroll, but how do you put a scroll within the div value returned is no longer the same.
As the width of the scroll is not standard and varies from system to system and browser to browser, it is difficult to solve.
I suggest you remove the scroll of the div and let the browser manage this by default in the body, then yes you have the correct width.
I have an iFrame displaying content pulled in from a separate service. However, the content has a button that loads more content horizontally, via AJAX, and pushes the height of the content down, causing scrollbars.
Is there any way to get the iFrame to respond to this change, and increase its height when the user loads more content inside?
Looks like this microsoft article might have your answer:

oFrame.style.width = oBody.scrollWidth + (oBody.offsetWidth - oBody.clientWidth);
}

Basically, tap into the resize event of the child document, and resize your iframe accordingly.
This question already has answers here:
Adjust width and height of iframe to fit with content in it
(35 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
For example:
<iframe name="Stack" src="http://stackoverflow.com/" width="740"
frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="iframe"> ...
</iframe>
I want it to be able to adjust its height according to the contents inside it, without using scroll.
Add this to your <head> section:
<script>
function resizeIframe(obj) {
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.documentElement.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
</script>
And change your iframe to this:
<iframe src="..." frameborder="0" scrolling="no" onload="resizeIframe(this)" />
As found on sitepoint discussion.
You can use this library, which both initially sizes your iframe correctly and also keeps it at the right size by detecting whenever the size of the iframe's content changes (either via regular checking in a setInterval or via MutationObserver) and resizing it.
https://github.com/davidjbradshaw/iframe-resizer
Their is also a React version.
https://github.com/davidjbradshaw/iframe-resizer-react
This works with both cross and same domain iframes.
Here is a compact version:
<iframe src="hello.html" sandbox="allow-same-origin"
onload="this.style.height=(this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+20)+'px';">
</iframe>
The suggestion by hjpotter92 does not work in safari!
I have made a small adjustment to the script so it now works in Safari as well.
Only change made is resetting height to 0 on every load in order to enable some browsers to decrease height.
Add this to <head> tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(obj){
obj.style.height = 0;
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
</script>
And add the following onload attribute to your iframe, like so
<iframe onload='resizeIframe(this)'></iframe>
Avoid inline JavaScript; you can use a class:
<iframe src="..." frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" class="iframe-full-height"></iframe>
And reference it with jQuery:
$('.iframe-full-height').on('load', function(){
this.style.height=this.contentDocument.body.scrollHeight +'px';
});
The hjpotter92 answer works well enough in certain cases, but I found the iframe content often got bottom-clipped in Firefox & IE, while fine in Chrome.
The following works well for me and fixes the clipping problem. The code was found at http://www.dyn-web.com/tutorials/iframes/height/. I have made a slight modification to take the onload attribute out of the HTML. Place the following code after the <iframe> HTML and before the closing </body> tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
function getDocHeight(doc) {
doc = doc || document;
// stackoverflow.com/questions/1145850/
var body = doc.body, html = doc.documentElement;
var height = Math.max( body.scrollHeight, body.offsetHeight,
html.clientHeight, html.scrollHeight, html.offsetHeight );
return height;
}
function setIframeHeight(id) {
var ifrm = document.getElementById(id);
var doc = ifrm.contentDocument? ifrm.contentDocument:
ifrm.contentWindow.document;
ifrm.style.visibility = 'hidden';
ifrm.style.height = "10px"; // reset to minimal height ...
// IE opt. for bing/msn needs a bit added or scrollbar appears
ifrm.style.height = getDocHeight( doc ) + 4 + "px";
ifrm.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
document.getElementById('ifrm').onload = function() { // Adjust the Id accordingly
setIframeHeight(this.id);
}
</script>
Your iframe HTML:
<iframe id="ifrm" src="some-iframe-content.html"></iframe>
Note if you prefer to include the Javascript in the <head> of the document then you can revert to using an inline onload attribute in the iframe HTML, as in the dyn-web web page.
jQuery's .contents() method method allows us to search through the immediate children of the element in the DOM tree.
jQuery:
$('iframe').height( $('iframe').contents().outerHeight() );
Remember that the body of the page inner the iframe must have its height
CSS:
body {
height: auto;
overflow: auto
}
This works for me (also with multiple iframes on one page):
$('iframe').load(function(){$(this).height($(this).contents().outerHeight());});
Try this for IE11
<iframe name="Stack" src="http://stackoverflow.com/" style='height: 100%; width: 100%;' frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="iframe">...</iframe>
This works for me (mostly).
Put this at the bottom of your page.
<script type="application/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script type="application/javascript" src="/script/jquery.browser.js">
</script>
<script type="application/javascript" src="/script/jquery-iframe-auto-height.js">
</script>
<script type="application/javascript">
jQuery('iframe').iframeAutoHeight();
$(window).load(
function() {
jQuery('iframe').iframeAutoHeight();
}
);
// for when content is not html e.g. a PDF
function setIframeHeight() {
$('.iframe_fullHeight').each(
function (i, item) {
item.height = $(document).height();
}
);
};
$(document).ready( function () {
setIframeHeight();
});
$(window).resize( function () {
setIframeHeight();
});
</script>
The first half is from ???, and works when there is html in the iframe.
The second half sets the iframe to page height (not content height), when iframes class is iframe_fullHeight. You can use this if the content is a PDF or other such like, but you have to set the class. Also can only be used when being full height is appropriate.
Note: for some reason, when it recalculates after window resize, it gets height wrong.
function autoResize(id){
var newheight;
var newwidth;
if(document.getElementById){
newheight=document.getElementById(id).contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
newwidth=document.getElementById(id).contentWindow.document.body.scrollWidth;
}
document.getElementById(id).height=(newheight) + "px";
document.getElementById(id).width=(newwidth) + "px";
}
add this to your iframe:
onload="autoResize('youriframeid')"
jq2('#stocks_iframe').load(function(){
var iframe_width = jq2('#stocks_iframe').contents().outerHeight() ;
jq2('#stocks_iframe').css('height',iframe_width); });
<iframe id='stocks_iframe' style='width:100%;height:0px;' frameborder='0'>
I did it with AngularJS. Angular doesn't have an ng-load, but a 3rd party module was made; install with bower below, or find it here: https://github.com/andrefarzat/ng-load
Get the ngLoad directive: bower install ng-load --save
Setup your iframe:
<iframe id="CreditReportFrame" src="about:blank" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" ng-load="resizeIframe($event)" seamless></iframe>
Controller resizeIframe function:
$scope.resizeIframe = function (event) {
console.log("iframe loaded!");
var iframe = event.target;
iframe.style.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
};
I wanted to make an iframe behave like a normal page (I needed to make a fullscreen banner inside an iframe element), so here is my script:
(function (window, undefined) {
var frame,
lastKnownFrameHeight = 0,
maxFrameLoadedTries = 5,
maxResizeCheckTries = 20;
//Resize iframe on window resize
addEvent(window, 'resize', resizeFrame);
var iframeCheckInterval = window.setInterval(function () {
maxFrameLoadedTries--;
var frames = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
if (maxFrameLoadedTries == 0 || frames.length) {
clearInterval(iframeCheckInterval);
frame = frames[0];
addEvent(frame, 'load', resizeFrame);
var resizeCheckInterval = setInterval(function () {
resizeFrame();
maxResizeCheckTries--;
if (maxResizeCheckTries == 0) {
clearInterval(resizeCheckInterval);
}
}, 1000);
resizeFrame();
}
}, 500);
function resizeFrame() {
if (frame) {
var frameHeight = frame.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
if (frameHeight !== lastKnownFrameHeight) {
lastKnownFrameHeight = frameHeight;
var viewportWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
if (document.compatMode && document.compatMode === 'BackCompat') {
viewportWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
}
frame.setAttribute('width', viewportWidth);
frame.setAttribute('height', lastKnownFrameHeight);
frame.style.width = viewportWidth + 'px';
frame.style.height = frameHeight + 'px';
}
}
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
// Cross-browser helpers
//--------------------------------------------------------------
function addEvent(elem, event, fn) {
if (elem.addEventListener) {
elem.addEventListener(event, fn, false);
} else {
elem.attachEvent("on" + event, function () {
return (fn.call(elem, window.event));
});
}
}
})(window);
The functions are self-explanatory and have comments to further explain their purpose.
I've had problems in the past calling iframe.onload for dynamically created iframes, so I went with this approach for setting the iframe size:
iFrame View
var height = $("body").outerHeight();
parent.SetIFrameHeight(height);
Main View
SetIFrameHeight = function(height) {
$("#iFrameWrapper").height(height);
}
(this is only going to work if both views are in the same domain)
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(obj) {
obj.style.height = 0;
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
</script>
this is not working for chrome. But working for firefox.
I am loading an aspx web page in an iframe. The content in the Iframe can be of more height than the iframe's height. The iframe should not have scroll bars.
I have a wrapper div tag inside the iframe which basically is all the content. I wrote some jQuery to make the resize happen :
$("#TB_window", window.parent.document).height($("body").height() + 50);
where
TB_window is the div in which the Iframe is contained.
body - the body tag of the aspx in the iframe.
This script is attached to the iframe content. I am getting the TB_window element from the parent page. While this works fine on Chrome, but the TB_window collapses in Firefox. I am really confused/lost on why that happens.
You can retrieve the height of the IFRAME's content by using:
contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight
After the IFRAME is loaded, you can then change the height by doing the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function iframeLoaded() {
var iFrameID = document.getElementById('idIframe');
if(iFrameID) {
// here you can make the height, I delete it first, then I make it again
iFrameID.height = "";
iFrameID.height = iFrameID.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}
}
</script>
Then, on the IFRAME tag, you hook up the handler like this:
<iframe id="idIframe" onload="iframeLoaded()" ...
I had a situation a while ago where I additionally needed to call iframeLoaded from the IFRAME itself after a form-submission occurred within. You can accomplish that by doing the following within the IFRAME's content scripts:
parent.iframeLoaded();
A slightly improved answer to Aristos...
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}
</script>
Then declare in your iframe as follows:
<iframe onload="resizeIframe(this)" ...
There are two minor improvements:
You don't need to get the element via document.getElementById - as you already have it in the onload callback.
There's no need to set the iframe.height = "" if you're going to reassign it in the very next statement. Doing so actually incurs an overhead as you're dealing with a DOM element.
Edit:
If the content in the frame is always changing then call:
parent.resizeIframe(this.frameElement);
from within the iframe after the update. Works for same origin.
Or to auto detect:
// on resize
this.container = this.frameElement.contentWindow.document.body;
this.watch = () => {
cancelAnimationFrame(this.watcher);
if (this.lastScrollHeight !== container.scrollHeight) {
parent.resizeIframeToContentSize(this.frameElement);
}
this.lastScrollHeight = container.scrollHeight;
this.watcher = requestAnimationFrame(this.watch);
};
this.watcher = window.requestAnimationFrame(this.watch);
I found that the accepted answer didn't suffice, since X-FRAME-OPTIONS: Allow-From isn't supported in safari or chrome. Went with a different approach instead, found in a presentation given by Ben Vinegar from Disqus. The idea is to add an event listener to the parent window, and then inside the iframe, use window.postMessage to send an event to the parent telling it to do something (resize the iframe).
So in the parent document, add an event listener:
window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
var $iframe = jQuery("#myIframe");
var eventName = e.data[0];
var data = e.data[1];
switch(eventName) {
case 'setHeight':
$iframe.height(data);
break;
}
}, false);
And inside the iframe, write a function to post the message:
function resize() {
var height = document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].scrollHeight;
window.parent.postMessage(["setHeight", height], "*");
}
Finally, inside the iframe, add an onLoad to the body tag to fire the resize function:
<body onLoad="resize();">
Add this to the iframe, this worked for me:
onload="this.height=this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;"
And if you use jQuery try this code:
onload="$(this).height($(this.contentWindow.document.body).find(\'div\').first().height());"
you could also add a repeating requestAnimationFrame to your resizeIframe (e.g. from #BlueFish's answer) which would always be called before the browser paints the layout and you could update the height of the iframe when its content have changed their heights. e.g. input forms, lazy loaded content etc.
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
window.requestAnimationFrame(() => resizeIframe(iframe));
}
</script>
<iframe onload="resizeIframe(this)" ...
your callback should be fast enough to have no big impact on your overall performance
There are four different properties you can look at to get the height of the content in an iFrame.
document.documentElement.scrollHeight
document.documentElement.offsetHeight
document.body.scrollHeight
document.body.offsetHeight
Sadly they can all give different answers and these are inconsistant between browsers. If you set the body margin to 0 then the document.body.offsetHeight gives the best answer. To get the correct value try this function; which is taken from the iframe-resizer library that also looks after keeping the iFrame the correct size when the content changes,or the browser is resized.
function getIFrameHeight(){
function getComputedBodyStyle(prop) {
function getPixelValue(value) {
var PIXEL = /^\d+(px)?$/i;
if (PIXEL.test(value)) {
return parseInt(value,base);
}
var
style = el.style.left,
runtimeStyle = el.runtimeStyle.left;
el.runtimeStyle.left = el.currentStyle.left;
el.style.left = value || 0;
value = el.style.pixelLeft;
el.style.left = style;
el.runtimeStyle.left = runtimeStyle;
return value;
}
var
el = document.body,
retVal = 0;
if (document.defaultView && document.defaultView.getComputedStyle) {
retVal = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(el, null)[prop];
} else {//IE8 & below
retVal = getPixelValue(el.currentStyle[prop]);
}
return parseInt(retVal,10);
}
return document.body.offsetHeight +
getComputedBodyStyle('marginTop') +
getComputedBodyStyle('marginBottom');
}
Other answers were not working for me so i did some changes. Hope this will help
$('#iframe').on("load", function() {
var iframe = $(window.top.document).find("#iframe");
iframe.height(iframe[0].ownerDocument.body.scrollHeight+'px' );
});
Just in case this helps anyone. I was pulling my hair out trying to get this to work, then I noticed that the iframe had a class entry with height:100%. When I removed this, everything worked as expected. So, please check for any css conflicts.
I am using jQuery and the code below working for me,
var iframe = $(window.top.document).find("#iframe_id_here");
iframe.height(iframe.contents().height()+'px' );
You can refer related question here - How to make width and height of iframe same as its parent div?
To set dynamic height -
We need to communicate with cross domain iFrames and parent
Then we can send scroll height/content height of iframe to parent window
And codes - https://gist.github.com/mohandere/a2e67971858ee2c3999d62e3843889a8
Rather than using javscript/jquery the easiest way I found is:
<iframe style="min-height:98vh" src="http://yourdomain.com" width="100%"></iframe>
Here 1vh = 1% of Browser window height. So the theoretical value of height to be set is 100vh but practically 98vh did the magic.
All other answers are correct but what if the iframe has some dynamic content like a map that loads later and dynamically changes your iframe scroll height. This is how I achieved it.
var iFrameID = document.getElementById('idIframe');
intval = setInterval(function(){
if(iFrameID.scrollHeight == iFrameID.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight){
clearInterval(intval);
}else{
iFrameID.height = iFrameID.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}
},500)
I simply wrap the code inside setInterval which matches the iframe scroll height with iframe content scroll height then clear the interval.
in my project there is one requirement that we have make dynamic screen like Alignment of Dashboard while loading, it should display on an entire page and should get adjust dynamically, if user is maximizing or resizing the browser’s window.
For this I have created url and used iframe to open one of the dynamic report which is written in cognos BI.In jsp we have to embed BI report. I have used iframe to embed this report in jsp. following code is working in my case.
<iframe src= ${cognosUrl} onload="this.style.height=(this.contentDocument.body.scrollHeight+30) +'px';" scrolling="no" style="width: 100%; min-height: 900px; border: none; overflow: hidden; height: 30px;"></iframe>
I found the answer from Troy didn't work. This is the same code reworked for ajax:
$.ajax({
url: 'data.php',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data)
{
// Put the data onto the page
// Resize the iframe
var iframe = $(window.top.document).find("#iframe");
iframe.height( iframe[0].contentDocument.body.scrollHeight+'px' );
}
});
To add to the chunk of window that seems to cut off at the bottom, especially when you don't have scrolling I used:
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
var addHeight = 20; //or whatever size is being cut off
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + addHeight + "px";
}
This one is useful when you require a solution with no jquery. In that case you should try adding a container and set a padding to it in percentages
HTML example code:
<div class="iframecontainer">
<iframe scrolling="no" src="..." class="iframeclass"width="999px" height="618px"></iframe>
</div>
CSS example code:
.iframeclass{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.iframecontainer{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
padding-top: 61%;
}
The simple solution is to measure the width and height of the content area, and then use those measurements to calculate the bottom padding percentage.
In this case, the measurements are 1680 x 720 px, so the padding on the bottom is 720 / 1680 = 0.43 * 100, which comes out to 43%.
.canvas-container {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 43%; // (720 ÷ 1680 = 0.4286 = 43%)
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.canvas-container iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
A slightly improved answer to BlueFish...
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
var padding = 50;
if (iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight < (window.innerHeight - padding))
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
else
iframe.height = (window.innerHeight - padding) + "px";
}
This takes in consideration the height of the windows screen(browser, phone) which is good for responsive design and iframes that have huge height.
Padding represents the padding you want above and below the iframe in the case it goes trough whole screen.

Sample using PHP htmlspecialchars() + check if height exists and is > 0:
$my_html_markup = ''; // Insert here HTML markup with CSS, JS... '<html><head></head><body>...</body></html>'
$iframe = '<iframe onload="if(this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight) {this.height = this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;}" width="100%" src="javascript: \''. htmlspecialchars($my_html_markup) . '\'"></iframe>';
Script
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var height = $(window).height();
$('.myIframe').css('height', height - 200);
});
</script>
iframe
<iframe class="myIframe" width="100%"></iframe>
It's working in my case.
$(document).height() // - $('body').offset().top
and / or
$(window).height()
See Stack Overflow question How to get the height of a body element.
Try this to find the height of the body in jQuery:
if $("body").height()
It doesn't have a value if Firebug. Perhaps that's the problem.
just make iframe container position:absolute and iframe will automatically change its height according to its content
<style>
.iframe-container {
display: block;
position: absolute;
/*change position as you need*/
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
iframe {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: #fff;
}
</style>
<div class="iframe-container">
<iframe src="http://iframesourcepage"></iframe>
</div>
In a small iframe-application at the Russian social network Ok.ru I use the following call to resize the iframe:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://api.odnoklassniki.ru/js/fapi.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
FAPI.init("http://api.odnoklassniki.ru/", "XXX_YYY",
function() {
alert("clientHeight " + document.getElementById("fb-root").clientHeight);
alert("offsetHeight " + document.getElementById("fb-root").offsetHeight);
FAPI.UI.setWindowSize(720, 1200);
}, function(error){
alert("API initialization failed");
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
i.e. the iframe-height is currently hardcoded to 1200.
It works okay, but I'd like to use the height/position of #fb-root element instead.
Does anybody please have an idea, which JavaScript or CSS function could be used here - if I don't want to include jQuery just for one $(#fb-root).offset() call?
I've also looked at their library http://api.odnoklassniki.ru//js/fapi.js but it doesn't include such function.
UPDATE
I've added two alert-calls to my source code above, but they only print
clientHeight 0
offsetHeight 0
UPDATE
The following code seem to work well for my iframe-app now in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, regardless of how many s do I add for testing it. But with Internet Explorer it fails to resize the window and alert shows top=1107 instead of top=1157 in Google Chrome, thus the html table at the bottom is cut off:
... here my flash game + html table with players ...

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://api.odnoklassniki.ru/js/fapi.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
FAPI.init("http://api.odnoklassniki.ru/", "XXX_YYY",
function() {
var top = findTop(document.getElementById("fb-root"));
FAPI.UI.setWindowSize(720, Math.max(top, 1200));
}, function(error){
alert("API initialization failed");
});
function findTop(obj) {
if(!obj) return 0;
return obj.offsetTop + findTop(obj.offsetParent);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Looking at the code in jquery, the offset is calculated like this:
function getOffset(element)
{
if (!element.getClientRects().length)
{
return { top: 0, left: 0 };
}
let rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
let win = element.ownerDocument.defaultView;
return (
{
top: rect.top + win.pageYOffset,
left: rect.left + win.pageXOffset
});
}
Quirksmode has a JavaScript tutorial/function that shows how to find the coordinates of an element here
Once you have its coordinates, you can use the offsetHeight property of the iframe to read its height.
If document.getElementById("fb-root").clientHeight returns 0, it certainly means that your "fb-root" div is either not displayed or still empty.
I have had a look at fapi.js, and it seems that calling the FAPI.init function creates a span which id is "FAPI_Flash_wrap", appends it to the body of the document, then embeds a flash object with id "FAPI_Flash" in this span.
So I would try retrieving an element with id "FAPI_Flash_wrap" or "FAPI_Flash" instead of "fb-root":<script type="text/javascript">
FAPI.init("http://api.odnoklassniki.ru/", "XXX_YYY",
function() {
alert("Height = " + document.getElementById("FAPI_Flash_wrap").offsetHeight);
alert("Width = " + document.getElementById("FAPI_Flash_wrap").offsetWidth);
FAPI.UI.setWindowSize(720, 1200);
}, function(error){alert("API initialization failed");}
);
</script>
I hope this works!
If it's the case, then just use
<script type="text/javascript">
FAPI.init("http://api.odnoklassniki.ru/", "XXX_YYY",
function() {
var height = document.getElementById("FAPI_Flash_wrap").offsetHeight;
var width = document.getElementById("FAPI_Flash_wrap").offsetWidth;
FAPI.UI.setWindowSize(width, height);
}, function(error){alert("API initialization failed");}
);
</script>
Use offsetHeight or clientHeight to get div's height:
document.getElementById("fb-root").offsetHeight // including border
document.getElementById("fb-root").clientHeight // excluding border
Use offsetLeft and offsetTop to get div's position relative to its offsetParent. offsetParent is its first parent box which position style is fixed, relative or absolute.
