Variable IFrame Size

[jp@rpwprod]

Is there anyway to setup an inline frame so it will change size (height
specifically) depending on the size of the page it opens?

Here's my situation: I have a standard website frame setup with a header, a
sidebar for navigation and then a main section. I need the same disclaimers,
warnings and contact information displayed at the bottom of each page, so
within the main section, I put an inline frame to display the changing
content and the disclaimers, etc. at the bottom. But, I don't want my
visitors to have to use two sets of scrollbars to navigate the page. I'd
like the inline frame to change size depending on the page that's opened in
it.

If there's another solution that doesn't use inline frames, I'm okay with
that, too. I just don't want to have to update 20 pages everytime the
contact information has to be updated.

Thanks...

Set the Iframe width to 100%

That doesn't work... it just changes the size of the frame to 100% of
whatever the initial page is. When I change pages within it, it stays the
same size as the initial page wanted it to be. I still get 2 scrollbars on
the right hand side.

You would have to design you pages that load in the IFrame to always be the same size. An IFrame is
part of page it is inserted into, so there is not way that you could adjust it's size based on the
content being loaded within it.
