Resizing iframes

I know this question has been asked before in some form or another, and I also know iframes are evil, but in this particular instance I have no other option. I need to develop and iframe that pulls a small form widget from another domain. The width of the widget is fixed, but it contains panels the slide open and shut using jquery. Is there a way of getting the iframe to expand and contract according to what's happening with the iframes content? Thanks.

Having had much the same issue and not finding an answer that solved all my use cases, I ended up writing a simple library to handle this.

If you can edit the content of the page inside the iframe, you can use this jQuery plugin to communicate between the frame and the parent window:
