Frame height problem

[nilulk]

Hey all,
I've got a frame on my site, which is a simple box, made for a poll. Once the user has voted, it loads a new page with the results in the frame. A lot of people told me I shouldn't use frames because they're bad, but atm I don't care, it's good like that, and I want to use it !
The only problem is the height. I can set the height so it's not too small or too big, but the problem is that the height is not relative. That means if I remove "height: xxxpx;" from the CSS stylesheet, it automatically sets the frame at 50 px or so but that's too small, so the scrollbars appear and you have to scroll in the frame. And that's weird. Any idea how I could change that ? Do you see what I mean ? Cause I will change the question of the poll quite often and then I would have to change the height in the stylesheet everytime, that's crap

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I have an iframe,with no scrollbars and the length of the src page i am calculating on the onload event and setting the iframe height.
But somehow the iframe content truncates at a specific height.the remaining part of iframe is shown to be blank.
Is there a maximum limit to iframe height on a page?

That limitation is one reason why frames (and iframes) are bad and you should never use them
There are others, as well...
However, if you're set on this, there are JavaScript-based ways of checking how big the content of an iFrame is, and then resizing it to fit. Google is the best place to go, but here's a starter for ten: http://www.devpapers.com/article/200.

Hi,
The only way I can see around this is if you would make the frame as high as the longest question you could see writing, and let there be a little bit of empty space when there is a shorter question up there and that is assuming that you have to use a frame. The best thing to do would be to use some AJAX.

i know you want frams but your whole thing would be easyer if you use <div> with a scroll element
