Hello,

How would I make it so the DIV the iFrame was in would expand downwards with the iFrame?

Iframes do not expand!

In this case you'd either have to use a JS hack which risks working in only some browsers or use PHP Includes (more user friendly)

so you want the div with the iframe in to expand?

This is my way:


<html><head> <style type="text/css"> #DIVIDHERE {width:100px; height: 100px; margin-left: 000px; background-image: url(urlhere);} </head>
<body><div id="DIVIDHERE">expanding iframe code here.</div> </body> </html> I set a width so that the iframe wouldnt flow out and set a height so there is a default height when the content box is empty.

I use this all the time, it does. this code only expands downwards, if you wanted it to expand across you would remove the width code, but he may want a basic width for the content div so I added a width just in case and so that there is a basic height and width when the content box is empty.

iFrames suck bad in most browsers, firefox, ie6-7 alot of security holes.

I wanted to use PHP Include, but it broke my layout :|

Javascript manipulates the document. It could be any element, it's not an expanding iframe, it's a javascript hack.
