We have this group project and I was assigned to make a certain iframe resizable. I've been reading lots of forum posts since last week, and I found out that iframe itself can't be resizable.

Is there a way to make my iframe resizable?

Answer

This can be done in pure CSS, like so:

iframe {
  height: 300px;
  width: 300px;
  resize: both;
  overflow: auto;
}

Set the height and width to the minimum size you want, it only seems to grow, not shrink.

This technique has good support in all major browsers except IE.
