Automatically Resize Height of iFrame Containing External URLs

[danmakesthings]

Hi all,

How do I get an iframe to resize based on the height of a page of an external URL?

I need to load external URLs and then be able to reference their page height.

1. This iframe height needs to change when a new URL is loaded into its frame.
2. I need to be able to then reference this height (global variable is fine).

I have tried the solution in this post but this has only worked for local pages and not newly loaded URLs.

Automatic height of Inline Frame

Hello, Il have to display in an Inline frame a webpage whose height is unknown (dynamic). How can I adjust the Inline frame height for that ? Thanks. JBR

Is there a way to do this? I have attached an .RP file for reference.

Thanks!
Dan

Hi!

Unfortunately, for external URLs, you almost assuredly won’t be able to get information about the size of the webpage due to security concerns. On every external webpage I tried I got a cross-origin security error.
