I was able to get this to work, only, if i load a page in the iframe that is large, from then on the iframe is always large. so while it enlarges to the full height of the pages, it never decreases in size when a small page is loaded. IS there a way around this?

Possible solution for cross domain iFrame height problem.
———————————————————

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
resizeWindow();
function resizeWindow() {
var height = $(window).height();
$(”#iFrameRapper”).height(height);
};
var resizeTimer = null;
$(window).bind(’resize’, function() {
if (resizeTimer) clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
resizeTimer = setTimeout(resizeWindow, 100);
});
});

html, body
{
overflow: auto;
}

IE8 has a problem with the autoheight… Firefox works great.
The “REAL” problem I have is that when you click a link within the iframe, wherever you clicked that link (i.e midpage) the new page opens up mid page instead of at the top of the newly opened page.
Is there a work-around for that problem?

Its a great plugin. However some issues i.e. with performance. I have resolved it with the following code. May be helpful to you all

obj.detachEvent(”on” + evType, fn);
var r = obj.attachEvent(”on”+evType, fn);
return r;

Remember to detach the event before attaching. This way we avoid multiple attachements and hence performance is improved.

Thanks

Thanks!!
That worked for me (also using the David Vasquez workaround to fix the IE8 issue).
Tested in Firefox 3.5, IE8, Chrome 3.0, Safari 4.0.
