Wont allow me to resize IFrame window

Creating a web application using asp.net mvc 2.

Attempting to add an iframe inside the Index page.

<div id="root">
    <iframe src='http://restOfUrl' width='100%' height='100%'></iframe>
</div>

Iframe loads page inside 100% of width but only about 20% of height. Tried adding multiple <br/> above and below iframe tag to see if it has made any difference. Page has expanded in height but iframe has remainded the same.

Please advise? Cheers

Just give the 80% or 100% height to the parent element in your case

root{
   height:80%
}

height in % is depended on the parent element. if the parent element doesn't have a height set it will fail.

so there are 2 sollutions.

  1. give parent div a height like so:

or 2. set the height in px, like so:

<div id="root" >
    <iframe src='http://restOfUrl' width='100%' height='500px'></iframe>
</div>
