Firefox problems with Iframe SSI script II

**index** · 05-19-2005, 01:56 AM

I implemented this script and i get it to work 100% in IE, however Firefox chokes and shows me an ~100px high frame, although the content is MUCH longer.

I'm using :
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

any help woud be greatly appreciated!!
thanks

Just a thought, try changing this:

Code:

if (currentfr.contentDocument && currentfr.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight) //ns6 syntax
currentfr.height = currentfr.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight+FFextraHeight;

to this:

Code:

if (currentfr.contentDocument && currentfr.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight) //ns6 syntax
currentfr.height = currentfr.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight+FFextraHeight+"px";

Untested, worth a shot.

And if that doesn't get it try increasing this number:

Code:

var FFextraHeight=parseFloat(getFFVersion)>=0.1? 16 : 0 //extra height in px to add to iframe in FireFox 1.0+ browsers

thanks, but that didn't work.
When changing 16 to 160 for example, the page did increase. But that would defeat the purpose of having it autosize.

Code:

var FFextraHeight=parseFloat(getFFVersion)>=0.1? 16 : 0 //extra height in px to add to iframe in FireFox 1.0+ browsers

that's interesting...every time (with Netscape 7 or Firefox 1.04) i click on a link inside the iframe, the outter frame grows by a certain amount
.Im assuming by the extra pixels for the firefox offset.

So if someone clicks around for 10min, i'll have a 100000px long page

doesn't happen with IE

Very strange, it is not a FF specific problem then. It could be because it is php. Did you try a demo of the page as regular html? The demo on DD here works fine but, it is html.

yeah, tried that as well.

even removed the doctype header

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

does anyone else have any ideas?
i really don't understand why it's behaving that way..and i can't find any other solution

The tried and true method is to start over with a demo install on pure html, make sure that is working properly. Then add your modifications/customizations one at a time until it breaks.

I've been using this same script on my website:

http://www.netmusician.org/links.php

The iFrames appear on all pages when you click on high bandwidth after the initial redirect. This problem is most visible in the Links section, however, which is why my URL points to this section.

The problem I have sounds like the exact opposite of what is being reported here, namely I get a whole bunch of extra space at the bottom of the window. I don't get this in any other browser, even lowly IE 6.

Strange... if you have any ideas of things I can try, I'm all ears, but I kind of suspect that there is nothing that can be done. It seems that Mox/Firefox's iFrame support is a little buggy.

I've looked at some of the problems reported by Firefox users, and a lot of them occurs when the iframe contains a dynamic page (ie: php). It seems to throw dynamic resizing off in Firefox. I'm not sure there's a solution to this, at least I haven't had any success tinkering with the script.
