[SOLVED] CSS Frame Target

[blackcell]

Hello,

 

I have a program that will allow users to drop a php file in a directory and if the naming condition is right it will create a tab and the href to that tab is the file.

It works but I am doing it through iframes and the iframes src attribute. I want to make it so the targeted page will never have scroll bars. WIth iframes I have to set a static height.

iframe {
  height: xx.px
  overflow: hidden;
}

 

The problem is that you will not see the data if it is larger than your height.

Is there a way around this css or conventional html? I have wondered if there is a way to determine the length of a page before it is loaded to set the size.  I don't know I think it is going to take javascript.

 

Edit:

If 100% for height would work on like it does for width this would be solved.

The iframe itself will load before the src file loads into it, so I don't see how that could work.  I'm sure you can do it with some javascript, but why so set on no scrollbars?

I found a javascript to take care of it. I built a framework type of page that you can drop 'module' files into. You basically drop a file that is structurally named and it will set a tab on the main program, and load that src target into the frame below. It will be too confusing for the people I am making it for to have to deal with two sets of scroll bars. SO basically I wanted the iframe scroll bars to be the only ones.
