iFrame Height Auto (CSS)
I am having problems with my iframe. I really want the frame to auto adjust heights according to the content within the iframe. I really want to do this via the CSS without javascript. However, I will use javascript if I have too.
I've tried height: 100%; and height: auto;, etc. I just don't know what else to try!
Here is my CSS. For the frame...
#frame {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
width: 860px;
height: 100%;
}
And then for the frame's page.
#wrap {
float: left;
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
width: 780px;
height: 100%;
text-align: justify;
font-size: 16px;
color: #6BA070;
letter-spacing: 3px;
}
The page's coding looks like this...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" �� "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>...</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="navigation">
<a href="/" class="navigation">home</a>
<a href="about.php" class="navigation">about</a>
<a href="fanlisting.php" class="navigation">fanlisting</a>
<a href="reasons.php" class="navigation">100 reasons</a>
<a href="letter.php" class="navigation">letter</a>
</div>
<div id="content" >
<h1>Update Information</h1>
<iframe name="frame" id="frame" src="http://website.org/update.php" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Please note that the URL within the iframe is different then the website the iframe will be displayed on. However, I have access to both websites.
Can anyone help?

I had this same issue but found the following that works great:
The key to creating a responsive YouTube embed is with padding and a container element, which allows you to give it a fixed aspect ratio. You can also use this technique with most other iframe-based embeds, such as slideshows.
Here is what a typical YouTube embed code looks like, with fixed width and height:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/yCOY82UdFrw"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It would be nice if we could just give it a 100% width, but it won't work as the height remains fixed. What you need to do is wrap it in a container like so (note the class names and removal of the width and height):
<div class="container">
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/yCOY82UdFrw"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen class="video"></iframe>
</div>
And use the following CSS:
.container {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
}
.video {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Here is the page I found the solution on:

Depending on your aspect ratio, you will probably need to adjust the padding-bottom: 56.25%; to get the height right.
