I need a javascript to dynamicly resize an iframe's height based on the
length of the HTML file it is loading into it so that there is no need for
scroll bars. This is because I am using PHP to create a website where the
content for my site is loaded into the template file eliminating the need
for multiple files with the template in. Offcourse different pages that I
load into it will be different lengths (width isnt an issue) so I need a
javascript to do this.

I've looked all over the net and cant find one that works properly. I used
to have one buy it was lost when I had to reformat. From what I remember it
was a function that was called in the body tag onLoad and resized based on
the window.height of the page it loaded in.

The actua ljavascript that did the resizing was in the HTML file it loaded
in, not the file with the iframe, although the template file was in DIV
tags.

Can anyone help me? :)

Still not quite clear on what it is you're trying to do. I understand
the resizing the Iframe part (which you should get rid of anyway,
IFrames are IEvil :P), but what is it going to be based on? If it's the
height of the HTML file, that could be hard to determine, given that
people might be using different browser sizes. Any chance you have an
example to show?

Try to get a DW plug in, there is some good ones on the site for registered
users.

Covers all topics in frame resizing.

It'd be much easier to use PHP include statements to configure a template
for your page. Javascript is taken differently by some browsers and is
sometimes disabled which would make your page not able to be viewed at all.
