For example:

<iframe name="Stack" src="http://stackoverflow.com/" width="740"
        frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="iframe"> ...
</iframe>

I want it to be able to adjust its height according to the contents inside it, without using scroll.

Answer

Add this to your <head> section:

<script>
  function resizeIframe(obj) {
    obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.documentElement.scrollHeight + 'px';
  }
</script>

And change your iframe to this:

<iframe src="..." frameborder="0" scrolling="no" onload="resizeIframe(this)" />
