I've had a browse around similar posts but not found anything that is really related to my scenario.
I have a summary page in which I iframe several pages that the user has travelled through on route to the summary page. In each of the pages that are being iframed. I'm using .toggle to expand/collapse the content of the page.
The issue I'm finding is that I'm using a script on the summary page when it is first loaded to make the iframe the size of the content of the page it is including, but when I click to toggle that content and collapse it, it leaves the iframe at the same size so that there is a huge chunk of whitespace.
I'm guessing that I need to send something back from the included page to the summary page that says the content size has changed and to therefore re-size the iframe size but am unsure how to do this.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
An example of the files is...
Parent.html
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
// Resize an iframe so it's as tall as its contents. This could be much shorter but is expanded for clarity.
function size_frame(frame_name, frame_id)
{
// Get the iframe element
var frame_element = document.getElementById(frame_id);
// Get the iframe frame-window object. Note this has different properties to frame_element.
var frame_window = frames[frame_name];
// Set the height to 1px first, because some browsers will give you the maximum height of either the
// frame or its contents, when you try to read the scrollHeight property as we do below.
frame_element.style.height = "1px";
// set the height of the iframe element to the "scrollHeight" of the document element of the frame window.
frame_element.style.height = frame_window.document.documentElement.scrollHeight +"px";
}
</script>
