Iframe with 100% Height

Ever wonder how to create an iframe that fills the entire height (and width) of a page? You probably tried writing something like: <iframe width=100% height=100%></iframe> and expected the iframe to fill up whatever it could. The width=100% does what you expected and fills up the entire width of the page, but the height just stays about 200px. Here's some easy JavaScript to do exactly this:

Put this in the head of your page:


<script language="JavaScript"> <!-function resize_iframe() { var height=window.innerWidth;//Firefox if (document.body.clientHeight) { height=document.body.clientHeight;//IE } //resize the iframe according to the size of the //window (all these should be on the same line) document.getElementById("glu").style.height=parseInt(heightdocument.getElementById("glu").offsetTop-8)+"px"; } // this will resize the iframe every // time you change the size of the window. window.onresize=resize_iframe; //Instead of using this you can use: // <BODY onresize="resize_iframe()">

//--> </script>

And inside your page's body create the iframe tag:


<iframe id="glu" width="100%" onload="resize_iframe()"> </iframe>
