Get a reference to the element with Javascript, and use the same techniques you use for any other element. You can set the CSS width and height values in element.style.width and element.style.height.
Hi justsomeguy, 1. From where do I get the reference to the element with Javascript?2. How do I use the techniques?3. How do I set the CSS width and height values in element.style.width and element.style.height? Please suggest.
If you mean find the height of source page, and adjust iframe to match look at this post, its a fews year old but it still should be still usable.
Hi dsonesuk, Nope. I do not mean to find the height of source page. Anyways, thanks for your reply.

If the iframe has an ID, you can use document.getElementById to get a reference to it. You can also use document.getElementsByTagName to get all iframe elements and loop through them to find the one you're looking for if there is more than one iframe on the page. This page describes the properties specific to iframe elements: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_frame.asphttp://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_iframe_height.asp Here is the reference for the document object: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_document.asp

Hi justsomeguy,Please find the attached "2 Scroll Bars.png" file. Could you please tell me how do I fix that Scrolling thingy? I referred the 2nd link (http://www.w3schools...rame_height.asp) among those 3 links. So, the code looks like this.

<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function changeSize(){document.getElementById("myframe").height="100%";document.getElementById("myframe").width="100%";}</script></head><body style="margin:0px"><iframe id="myframe" src="http://www.w3schools.com" height="100%" width="100%" border="0" frameborder="0"><p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p></iframe><br /><br /></body></html>

The iframe is too large, or something else on the page is making the body larger than the window. You can use the overflow CSS property if you want to hide scrollbars when the content is larger than the container.
Hi justsomeguy,I want that scrollbar but not 2 scrollbars. Just one. How do I use the overflow CSS property to hide the unwanted scrollbar? I had sent you a Private Message. Did you get a chance to see that?

The two <br /> element causes a extra line to be added to the height of 100% of iframe, resulting in the vertical scroll bar to appear, either remove these or use overflow:hidden; for the body element of the page.

<body style="margin:0; overflow:hidden;">

or place styling in <head>..</head>

<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function changeSize(){document.getElementById("myframe").height="100%";document.getElementById("myframe").width="100%";}</script><style type="text/css">body {margin:0; overflow:hidden;}</style></head><body><iframe id="myframe" src="http://www.w3schools.com" height="100%" width="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"><p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p></iframe></body></html>

Hi dsonesuk, I have removed the <br /><br /> elements and used "overflow:hidden;" for the body element of the page instead of placing styling in <head>.....</head>. It looks PERFECT now! :) I would like to add "<p>.....</p>" for Google Adv CODE above and below the <iframe> tag.

<p align="center">Google Adv CODE</p><iframe id="myframe" src="http://www.w3schools.com" height="100%" width="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"><p align="center">Google Adv CODE</p>
So, how do I update the entire code now? Please suggest.

You will have to allow for the height of both paragraphs of text, and reduce the percentage height of the iframe accordingly. this will cause these line of text show continuously, as the height of window is set at 100% of full browser viewport area, and will not scroll. <html>

<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><script type="text/javascript">function changeSize(){document.getElementById("myframe").height="100%";document.getElementById("myframe").width="100%";}</script><style type="text/css"></style></head><body style="margin:0px; overflow:hidden;"><p align="center" style="position:relative; top:0; height:1em; margin:0;">Google Adv CODE</p><iframe id="myframe" class="myframe" src="http://www.w3schools.com" height="92%" width="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe><p align="center" style="position:relative; bottom:0; height:1em; margin:0; ">Google Adv CODE</p></body></html>

1. Well it won't as the top and bottom space is now the occupied by the google ads.2. You did realize you have to compensate for crappy IE, and reduce the percentage height even more for IE....Come on! "you do the box model your way, and I'll do it my way, cause I am God! B.G microsoft IE."

If you are linking to external domain, you can't get the height of page to adjust to your requirements because of security issues, the next better option is to find the the height of google ads, add them together, and subtract that height from the total height of browser window, and set the height of the iframe to that value, and as long as the google ads are in div containers at the very top and bottom of the page this will work in all browsers.

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><script type="text/javascript">window.onload=function(){var bodyheight = document.body.offsetHeightvar DivTags = document.getElementsByTagName("div");var topad = DivTags[0].style.height;var botad = DivTags[(DivTags.length)-1].style.height;frameHeight = parseInt(bodyheight)-(parseInt(topad)+parseInt(botad))document.getElementById("myframe").style.height=frameHeight+"px";}</script><style type="text/css">body,html {height:100%;}</style></head><body style="margin:0px; overflow:hidden;"><div align="center" style="position:relative; top:0; height:88px; margin:0; background-color:#0033FF;">Google Adv CODE</div><iframe id="myframe" class="myframe" src="http://www.w3schools.com"  width="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe><div align="center" style="position:relative;  bottom:0;height:88px;  background-color:#0033FF; margin:0; ">Google Adv CODE</div></body></html>
