I have a website with a header and a footer. Let's call it domain.com.
Now on a second domain I have 2 files:
page1.php with a height of 1500px page2.php with a height of
800px
Now do I want to add both pages on my domain.com (not at the same time, but with for example domain.com/1 and domain.com/2) with an iframe that shows the full page content (important: of page1.php and page2.php) and adds it between the header and footer.
The iFrame should be without a scrollbar and should look for a user like there is no iFrame.
How can I make a dynamic iFrame that shows the full page (page1.php or page2.php) but also automaticly sets the sizes depending on the page content (as page1.php is larger than page2.php)?
// EDIT:
I forgot to enter important things. The site I want to add as iFrame is a shop website and so is dynamic. There is no fixed height of the site. So I can't use px in height because that would a) show too less (the rest would be "cut out") or show too much (the rest would be simply white). I hope you understant what I mean.
Using <iframe> to display content is a bit dated, but if it's what you want to do, take a look at the following demo:
Demo
Basically, you just need to make sure your scrolling and frameborder attributes are properly turned off:
<iframe src="https://xhynk.com/" scrolling="no" frameborder="none"></iframe>
and it helps to set your CSS to something like this:
iframe {
display: block;
width: 100vw;
height: 400px;
}
display: block removes any inline margin (usually 4px) from the iframe)
width: 100vw will set it to your viewport width (though use 100% instead if you have a sidebar or parent container that's not as wide as the viewport
and set your height to whatever pixel size the content is.
So your domain.com/1 page will look something like this:
<header>Page 1</header>
<iframe src="page1.php" scrolling="no" frameborder="none" style="display: block; width: 100vw; height: 1500px;"></iframe>
<footer>© Jelly</footer>
And domain.com/2 will look something like:
<header>Page 2</header>
<iframe src="page2.php" scrolling="no" frameborder="none" style="display: block; width: 100vw; height: 800px;"></iframe>
<footer>© Jelly</footer>
You may care to read up on the:<iframe> Element Documentation for more information.
For dynamic heights you can only do this if your don't have Cross Domain issues to worry about, but you can modify the height of the window after it's loaded:
Add the onload attribute to your iframe:
<iframe id="iframe1" src="page2.php" scrolling="no" frameborder="none" onload="iframeResize()"></iframe>
JavaScript
function iframeResize() {
var iframe = document.getElementById('iframe1');
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}
I have an iframe embedded in a third party website, which I cannot edit in any way.
I want the iframe to re-size according to the width of the window.
If I was able to edit the whole page, this would not be a problem.
However, when setting the size of an element in %, it uses the parent of that element to size from. In the case of the page I am working with, the parent elements do not re-size, so this does not work.
What I need, is a way of telling the iframe to re size, based solely on the width of the window, and preferably using only CSS.
Is this possible using only CSS? If not is it possible using JQuery or JavaScript?
Try this:
http://jsfiddle.net/6aLxaag8/2/
This jsfiddle loads a second jsfiddle in the iframe.
There's a hardcoded style attribute on the IFrame that sets the width; 100vw or 100% of the width of the viewing window in which the element sits, regardless of it's position in the DOM. As you don't have access to the parent page you'll need to use a style attribute and you may not be able to use javascript to add it (check cross site scripting).
Support isn't perfect with vw units, but it's close.
PS, it's hard to know if this will work without trying it in your context, please let me know :-)
I have encountered that problem before and I use this css trick, this adjust to the width & height of any wrapper/div so if you have embed an iframe inside a div with 'height: 620px' and 'width: 420px' the iframe size adjust to the div's height and width. Just change both width & height of the div to 100% percent.
.content_here {
width: 420px;
height: 620px;
}
iframe#iframecontent {
display:block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="content_here">
<iframe id="iframecontent" src="http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
</div>
Hi there have a page which has an iframe in it. Now seems that the only way I can get Google map or Blogger on to the site is in another iframe within the main i frame.
Now I have this script which was working to stop the scrolling in the main iframe, iframe_a but how do I get the i frame with Google map and Blogger to not scroll?
I have included that script again within the page which has Blogger and the one which has Google maps on it which gets put in the main i frame_a
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
javascript:
HTML5
CSS3
<script>
function resizeIframe(obj) {
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
</script>
<iframe name="iframe_a" src="home.html" id="iframe_a" onload='javascript:resizeIframe(this);' />
<p>Your browser does not support i frames.</p>
</iframe>
iframe {
overflow: hidden;
background-color:#ffffff;
width: 735px;
height: 0;
border:none;
}
I'm guessing that blogger's iframe is within home.html. I suggest adding the following css to that iframe if you want to remove the scrolling. Note that whatever extends past that iframe would be lost forever.
iframe {
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Might I strongly suggest not using two nested iframes? I don't know your exact situation, but this makes things cumbersome.
EDIT: What's right below this has been answered - see the question below it for the current question that has arisen from that answer.
The below code makes the page fit the screen, and I can size the iframe to be any height or width that I want, and the page will not scroll. THis is what I want. However, I don't just want the page to cut the iframe off. I want the iframe to stretch/shrink to fit the browser window. How can I achieve this efficiently? Can it be done without javascript? If javascript is needed for this, please provide a beginner level explanation, or a good tutorial link; I'm new with JS.
Here is what I have so far:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<iframe id="myIframe" src="https://#.com" border="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
body, html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.wrapper {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
EDIT! It just so happens that this particular page that I want to use in the iframe here offers a very interesting control feature in the url itself! The url allows size control. So this leads me to ask a new question, which involves using a javascript. My new question is this:
Can I use some sort of JS script to take advantage of the size control here in the url
<iframe id="myIframe" src="https://media.embed.ly/1/frame?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitch.tv%2Fgamemode_mc_&width=1280&height=1280&secure=true&key=0202f0ddb5a3458aabf520e5ab790ab9&"
to dynamically force the size of the iframe content to match the user's browser window?
This will combine the solution to my original question with a secondary solution to provide the perfect fix for my problem here.
(My goal here is actually to place this Twitch feed as a background to my webpage - resizing the actual content of the iframe is actually a very unlikely but seemingly possibly additional treat here!)
I think what you are attempting to accomplish can be done with the following in tour CSS
#myIframe {
height: 100%;
width: 100%
}
If you are trying to stretch the content of iframe then.....
You will have to write css that will give proportional height and width to all elements in the iframe document
if the iframe href is not from your domain then there is no way to achieve this.
Overall, there is no way to stretch the content of page so that all things are visible on the screen without scrollbar.
I dynamically load an iframe with JavaScript. After it's loaded, how can I make it scroll down a specific number of pixels (ie. after the page in the iframe has loaded, how can I make the iframe scroll by itself to the a specified region of the page?)
You can use the onload event to detect when the iframe has finished loading, and there you can use the scrollTo function on the contentWindow of the iframe, to scroll to a defined position of pixels, from left and top (x, y):
var myIframe = document.getElementById('iframe');
myIframe.onload = function () {
myIframe.contentWindow.scrollTo(xcoord,ycoord);
}
You can check a working example here.
Note: This will work if both pages reside on the same domain.
Inspired by Nelson's and Chris' comments, I've found a way to workaround the same origin policy with a div and an iframe:
HTML:
<div id='div_iframe'><iframe id='frame' src='...'></iframe></div>
CSS:
#div_iframe {
border-style: inset;
border-color: grey;
overflow: scroll;
height: 500px;
width: 90%
}
#frame {
width: 100%;
height: 1000%; /* 10x the div height to embrace the whole page */
}
Now suppose I want to skip the first 438 (vertical) pixels of the iframe page, by scrolling to that position.
JS solution:
document.getElementById('div_iframe').scrollTop = 438
JQuery solution:
$('#div_iframe').scrollTop(438)
CSS solution:
#frame { margin-top: -438px }
(Each solution alone is enough, and the effect of the CSS one is a little different since you can't scroll up to see the top of the iframed page.)
Inspired by Nelson's comment I made this.
Workaround for javascript Same-origin policy with regards to using.ScrollTo( ) on document originating on an external domain.
Very simple workaround for this involves creating a dummy HTML page that hosts the external website within it, then calling .ScrollTo(x,y) on that page once it's loaded. Then the only thing you need to do is have a frame or an iframe bring up this website.
There are a lot of other ways to do it, this is by far the most simplified way to do it.
*note the height must be large to accommodate the scroll bars maximum value.
--home.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Home</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="*,170">
<frame src=body.htm noresize=yes frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="no">
<frame src="weather.htm" noresize=yes frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="no">
</frameset>
</html>
--weather.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Weather</title>
</head>
<body onLoad="window.scrollTo(0,170)">
<iframe id="iframe" src="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Las+Vegas&state=NV&site=VEF&textField1=36.175&textField2=-115.136&e=0" height=1000 width=100% frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling=no>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Use the scrollTop property of the frame's content to set the content's vertical scroll-offset to a specific number of pixels (like 100):
<iframe src="foo.html" onload="this.contentWindow.document.documentElement.scrollTop=100"></iframe>
A jQuery solution:
$("#frame1").ready( function() {
$("#frame1").contents().scrollTop( $("#frame1").contents().scrollTop() + 10 );
});
Based on Chris's comment
CSS
.amazon-rating {
width: 55px;
height: 12px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.rating-stars {
left: -18px;
top: -102px;
position: relative;
}
HAML
.amazon-rating
%iframe.rating-stars{src: $item->ratingURL, seamless: 'seamless', frameborder: 0, scrolling: 'no'}
Or, you can set a margin-top on the iframe...a bit of a hack but works in FF so far.
#frame {
margin-top:200px;
}
The main issue when programming the scroll is related to getting the whole document embedded into the page, remember than an Iframe would be a full-page (head and all) inside your main doc, for this reason, before actually scrolling, you need to get the inner document, not just the container, so you can actually scrollTo.
We add a validation to sendure compatibility, and the differences betwen contentDocument and windows can be found here
Havign this, the final code would be:
var $iframe = document.getElementByID('myIfreme');
var childDocument = iframe.contentDocument ? iframe.contentDocument : iframe.contentWindow.document;
childDocument.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
I've also had trouble using any type of javascript "scrollTo" function in an iframe on an iPad. Finally found an "old" solution to the problem, just hash to an anchor.
In my situation after an ajax return my error messages were set to display at the top of the iframe but if the user had scrolled down in what is an admittedly long form the submission goes out and the error appears "above the fold". Additionally, assuming the user did scroll way down the top level page was scrolled away from 0,0 and was also hidden.
I added
<a name="ptop"></a>
to the top of my iframe document and
<a name="atop"></a>
to the top of my top level page
then
$(document).ready(function(){
$("form").bind("ajax:complete",
function() {
location.hash = "#";
top.location.hash = "#";
setTimeout('location.hash="#ptop"',150);
setTimeout('top.location.hash="#atop"',350);
}
)
});
in the iframe.
You have to hash the iframe before the top page or only the iframe will scroll and the top will remain hidden but while it's a tiny bit "jumpy" due to the timeout intervals it works. I imagine tags throughout would allow various "scrollTo" points.
