IE auto content fit IFrame HACK
I ran into 'another' strange IE-browser behavior yesterday. It took me an hour of two to solve this iframe-height-problem.
If you call this.document.body.scrollHeight in an iframe twice, the first value is wrong, but the second value is okay.
Look at the example below:
function autoFitIFrame(elementId){
if (!window.opera && !document.mimeType && document.all && document.getElementById){
parent.document.getElementById(elementId).style.height=this.document.body.offsetHeight+"px";
}
else if(document.getElementById) {
// ErnestoZ HACK: if you call scrollHeight TWICE, the second value is the real height of the iframe
var scrollHeightWrong = this.document.body.scrollHeight;
var scrollHeight = this.document.body.scrollHeight;
alert(scrollHeightWrong);
alert(scrollHeight);
parent.document.getElementById(elementId).style.height = scrollHeight+"px";
}
}
