Is it possible to make the embed tag have dynamic height

[Griffin]

So I've made a forum page on my website with a mybb forum "iframed" in with the embed tag you guys use. My problem is I would like the height of the embed tag to resize to the information on the screen.

If you look now I have the height set to something like 2000px just so I can see the whole forum and under the forum there is a lot of white space.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

Ask Mr. Google - there are some javascripts out there to do that.

For example, this one: http://www.dyn-web.com/tutorials/iframes/height/

Yeah I was trying to work something out like that, but where cmsms uses the embed tag and not the iframe tag I couldn't figure it out.

I read through the code, and though I haven't tested it, there is 'supposed' to be some dynamic iframe resizing functionality inside the 'embed' tag.

Try using the optional name parameter in both actions.

Tried that with no luck Is there a way to bypass the ebmed tag so I can use a regular Iframe and use javascript to resize it?

I have not tested this but couldn't you instead use:

In your template put:

Code: Select all

<div class="forum">
    {literal}<__iframe src="http://www.url-of-your-forum.com"></__iframe>{literal}
</div>

*<__iframe should be without the "__" ofcourse but this forum won't let me it replaces the < with <__ ...


In your CSS put:

Code: Select all

.forum { height: 100%; overflow: auto; }
.forum iframe { height: 100% /*dynamic*/ }

This way you can at least have more control over the iframe.
