I have an index page with an iframe, when the visitor submits some dates the page source in the iFrame is changed but i need to be able to set its resize it after processing some asp code, by passing a variable containing the height I need, so all the data sits in the frame with no scrollbars (bar the ones on the browser of course). I assume this involves some java but dont know enough to program this myself. Any help (Tarwn? :eek:)) Saturday 12.00

How about writing a function in the parent page:
Code: 
function resizeFrame(width,height){
   document.getElementById("frameid").style.width = width;
   document.getElementById("frameid").style.height = height;
}
The you could call that from the parent with the correct width and height values, or from the page in the child during onLoad:
Code: 
<body onLoad=&quot;parent.resizeFrame(450,200);&quot;>
With of course, any numbers you want in it. Since yuor doing it onload than you could estimate the numbers in your asp and write them to the onload event:
Code: 
<body onLoad=&quot;parent.resizeFrame(<%=newWidth%>,<%=newHeight%>);&quot;>

Tada! :)

Got a problem
Placed the function on the parent form and the body onload in the iFrame. (The iframe is accessing a page on another server if that makes a difference)
But when the page loads it says...
Operation is not allowed when the object is closed

Any ideas? Saturday 12.00

Browser &quot;cross domain&quot; security block.

Basically happens when the loaded url is on another http path it blocks script calls.
