How to resize an iframe with dynamic content?

@dalton_moen 

To resize an iframe with dynamic content, you can follow these steps:

1. Get a reference to the iframe element in your JavaScript code. You can do this using document.getElementById("yourIframeId") or any other appropriate method to identify the iframe element.
2. Determine the height of the iframe's content. You can use the scrollHeight property of the iframe's contentDocument.body element to get the height of the content inside the iframe. For example: iframe.contentDocument.body.scrollHeight.
3. Set the height of the iframe element to the height of the content using JavaScript. You can adjust the iframe height by setting the iframe's height property or style.height property to the height of the content. For example: iframe.style.height = iframe.contentDocument.body.scrollHeight + "px".
4. Optionally, you can add an event listener to resize the iframe whenever the content inside it changes. For example, you can listen for a click event on a button within the iframe or use a MutationObserver to watch for changes in the content of the iframe.

Here is an example code snippet:

var iframe = document.getElementById("yourIframeId");

function resizeIframe() {
  iframe.style.height = iframe.contentDocument.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}

// Call the resize function initially and whenever the iframe content changes.
resizeIframe();

// Example: Add an event listener to resize the iframe when a button is clicked inside the iframe.
iframe.contentWindow.document.getElementById("yourButtonId").addEventListener("click", resizeIframe);
