Introduction

The iframe-resizer library aims to take away the pain points with using iframes. It will resize your iframe to match the size of your content and then monitor the iframe to ensure that it is always the perfect size.

Reliable Resizing

As browsers don't provide a single consistently reliable method to calculate content size, iframe-resizer automatically inspects your page and selects the best value for your content every time it detects something changed.

Cross Domain

Supports both internal (same-domain) and external (cross-domain) iframes via a simple JS file that is designed to be a zero impact guest on the sites hosting it.

Lightening Performance

To ensure minimal impact on your site, iframe-resizer is highly optimised and utilizes _Set Theory_ to ensure it only checks the page elements that effect the sizing of your iframes.

Even on the most complex pages, iframe-resizer can detect changes to both HTML and CSS, calculate the revised content dimensions and update the iframe in sub millisecond time.
