IE auto content fit IFrame HACK

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 14:21:01 +0200

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";
		}
	}

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:58:00 +0200

You want to use Spry in a ColdBox based application? Me too, this is why I developed a Spry Plugin for ColdBox.

Luis asked me to put it on RiaForge, so I did. It's wating for approval, so for getting you started:

Live demo | Download sample

Please note that you can do a lot more with Adobe Spry than what's included in the demo.

Enjoy!
