396993 - Firefox IFrame resize

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[James]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7

IE easily resizes IFrames with code such as this: 
function goSetHeight() {
  if (parent == window) return;
  else parent.setIframeHeight('IFrameName');
}
But sadly Firefox only partially does. IFrames will expand
but will not contract to proper size when resized with code.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load an page with an embedded Iframe that's very tall.
2.Open a link within the IFrame that is shorter.
3.You will see a large gap where the IFrame hasn't been resized.
Actual Results:  
Large gaps of empty web space.


Properly adjust height and/or width of IFrames.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
