[Javascript] Dynamically resizing an iframe

Thu Nov 29 09:40:53 CST 2001

The type of file does not matter.. ASP files output the same HTML as .htm
files, the only difference being that you cannot do any server side
scripting in an HTML file. I'd read the article again and check your code to
make sure it matches up properly. The problem definitely does not have to do
with the fact that it is an ASP file.
