The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dynamically Expand iFrame Height to fit iFrame contents

Asked by PaulKahl in JavaScript, Miscellaneous Web Development, .NET

Tags: , , , ,

I have a nested iFrame in a page. This iFrame calls another website, where I have content acting as a 'remote' for the site the iFrame is nested in.

---------------------------
| iframe  |  site          |
| menu   |  content    |
|----------|                  |
|content |                  |
|             |                  |
----------------------------

I need to have the iFrame dynamicly resize to fit it's content, but there's a nasty part to this:

the iFrame has an AJAX Collapsible Panel in it containing a menu for the main site. Since it's a collapsible panel, it doesn't run on postbacks, so when the user expands a section of the menu, there's no actual event to indicate the iframe should increase in size.

I currently have a piece of code from MS for resizing, but the thing runs freaky. When I click the collapsible element in my menu, the frame stays as is while the panel opens. when I click again to collapse the panel, then the iFrame resizes to what that panel's size WAS.

FYI, here's the code:
parent page:
<iframe id="testMenu" name="testMenu"
    frameborder="0" scrolling="no" height="100%" width="175"
    src="http://domain1:9999/Menu/" target="_top"></iframe>


the child page:
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function resizeToContent() {
            var x = 0;
            var y = this.document.body.scrollHeight;
            while (x < y) {
                x+=1;
            }
            parent.document.getElementById('testMenu').style.height = x;
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>

<%--What's Happening--%>
<cc1:CollapsiblePanelExtender ID="CollapsiblePanelExtender1" runat="server"
    SuppressPostBack="false" Collapsed="True" CollapseControlID="imgMenuWHButton" CollapsedSize="0"
    ExpandControlID="imgMenuWHButton" TargetControlID="pnlMenuContainerWH" TextLabelID="Label4" />
<asp:Image ID="imgMenuWHButton" runat="server" ImageURL="~/images/leftnav_wh.jpg" CssClass="clsCursorPointer" AlternateText="What's Happening" OnClick="resizeToContent()" />
