jQuery Forum

It doesn't matter what is used to generate the (x)html/css. Just set
the src of the iframe to the URL and it should work.

Thank you, my problem is that a normal iframe cannot have an auto
height, I don't want any scroll bars shown, the iframe should be
resized according to contents.
I was hoping maybe there is a solution to this using jQuery.
Thank you.

Do you need jQueryfor that? Can't you jut use the HTML tag
<scrolling="no"> in the frame you don't want scrollbars in?

Have you thought of using AJAX to embed the remote page within a <div>
instead of using an iFrame? I know you would have to use JSONP to get it to
work across domains, so it kind of depends on how much control you have over
each site. Another way of doing it would be using a proxy script to fetch
the page, then use AJAX to fetch it from the proxy.
Otherwise, the only way I can think you would do this is by loading the
page in an iframe which is the correct width (set the height to 1px or
something), waiting for the page to load, getting the height of the page in
the iframe, then destroying the iframe and re-creating it with the correct
height. You then have the problem that if the user changes the font size,
you get a scrolling iframe again.

Thanks, guys, basically, I want an iframe auto-resize, how can use use
Ajax to load the other website in a div. I want to embed a php driven
page in a asp.net website.
I found this script online, but the script does not work:

If you want a website loaded in a div, then that would be a little bit
difficult - I was really talking about loading content from another website
(not the whole thing with stylesheets, images, video, scripts, etc.).
I think it would be possible if you could run scripts in both the parent
document and the one in the iFrame, which means you would have to have
access to both sites. I'm presuming you don't have access to the site which
you are planning to embed, so I don't think this is possible.

You can use AHAH instead of AJAX to load content into a div, though
I'm unsure whether you can load external xhtml in...
