iFrame problem

[Paul Watt]

Hi,
I'm using a iFrame to display my phpBB. The problem is when I specify HEIGHT
and WIDTH the iFrame doesnt appear. Heres the URL :
www.depressionlink.co.uk/forum.htm and heres my code:
<iframe frameborder="0" src="http://www.depressionlink.co.uk/forum/"
allowtransparency="yes" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>

TIA

Paul

As if the love poetry wasn't enough, Paul Watt just had to say:

<iframe frameborder="0" src="http://www.depressionlink.co.uk/forum/"
allowtransparency="yes" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>

The 100% values refer to 100% of the parent element's width/height. Does
the parent element have a width/height? If you are trying to get the
iframe to be 100% of the body width/height, then the answer is no.

How would you suggest I get the iFrame to fill the remainder of the cell its
in?

Well the 100% for the width will work fine, but I can't see any reliable
way of making the 100% work for the height.

If you want the IFRAME to grow to the size of the content displayed in
it, then you need to use javascript. A quick GIS for "javascript
height iframe" should give you some good examples
