How to get the height of an iframe with javascript from inside the iframe? What about pages with multiple iframes?

Question

Is there a way to detect the height and width of an iframe, by executing a script from inside the iframe? I need to dynamically position some elements in the iframe accordi

Answer 1

Be aware that code like this:

var thisIframesHeight = window.parent.$("iframe.itsID").height();

will only be safe if the source of the iframe and parent window are from the same domain. If not you will get permission denied problems and you will have to take another approach.
