How to make iframe automatically adjust height...

Hello.
I have a flash header on my page with links. When each link is pressed, the appropriate .html page is loaded into the iframe, which i have defined with this code:

Code:

<iframe name = "mainframe" src="home.html"
width="746" height="800"
frameborder="0"
align="middle">

The problem is, the different pages that will be loaded into 'mainframe' have different heights, and i would like the iframe to adjust to these heights without adding scrolling bars.

How would I do this?

I suggest changing your page layout to use divs instead of iframes.

Iframe content is often indexed out of context by search engines.

The other option would be to make the iframe big enough to hold the largest page, that may be awkward as well.

You can't auto-adjust the iframe's unfortunately.

They need a set width/height - you're best bet is just including it via php into a div (make sure you don't keep the <html> tags etc in it).
