   Hi, I am trying to integrate a PHPBB forum into a wordpress page by using an iframe and a javascript that automatically resizes that iframe to the content's hight. I put the javascript code in the header of the theme, I think I did that right. But I also have to put some javascript in the post, and I think that that is where it goes wrong.

   The code in the header:
   

   <script language="JavaScript">
   function iFrameHeight() {
   if(document.getElementById && !(document.all)) {
   h = document.getElementById('forumframe').contentDocument.body.scrollHeight;
   document.getElementById('forumframe').style.height = h;
   }
   else if(document.all) {
   h = document.frames('forumframe').document.body.scrollHeight;
   document.all.forumframe.style.height = h;
   }
   }
   </script>

   The code in the post:

   <iframe scrolling="no" width="800" frameBorder="0" src="http://www.jazzle.nl/forum/index.php" marginHeight="10" marginWidth="0" name="forumframe" border="0" title="forumframe" id="forumframe"></iframe>
   <script language="JavaScript"> setInterval("iFrameHeight()", 1000)</script>

   The script works fine except for when I use it within Wordpress. To show you the problem, here's my page: http://blog.jazzle.nl/?page_id=3

   Thanks in advance

   Are you really putting that in the Page editor as "content"?

   I think you'd have a lot more success if you added it to a Page template instead.

   Check out the Pages information in the codex. In particular, see how to create your own Page Templates.

   I did, but I put it in as 'code' and the script really showed up in the final page, it wasn't stripped by wordpress (you can check the link I posted and look at the source). Would making a template really make the difference? I mean, the code is there...

   also, I don't know that much about making wordpress templates, how can I make it look just like a normal page. And how do I make it appear in the pages menu (including the current page effect)?

   You didn't click the link I gave you. /sad face

   I'm sorry, I did, but didn't believe it would give me the solution. I did make a page template now, but sadly it doesn't work, try the link to my page in my first post. It just does the same thing as before, and it gives me a script error, something about permissions, but I don't get that error when I run that script from a page without wordpress (http://www.jazzle.nl/test/)

   Perhaps I assumed too much.

   To be more direct:

   Create a new Page template (again, follow directions at Pages). Add your iframe stuff IN the template file.

   Create a new Page in WordPress.
   Give it a title.
   Don't give it any content.
   Select the template you just created.
   Save.

   A mistake we all make too often :)

   That's exactly what I did, like i said in my previous reply ;) and it did not work.
   It looks like the script in the header.php isn't loaded correctly because the script error disappears when I delete the function call from the Page template (but offcourse the script doesn't work without)

   OK, I tried something else and I got a very weird result.
   I made another Page template and the only code it contains is a copy and paste of the page you can find here: http://www.jazzle.nl/test/ , so that's without the wordpress theme and stuff but just to look if it would work: it didn't. I really don't understand what's wrong with it, when I open the source of the page wordpress generated (or actually did nothing to it, because there was no php in this simple Page) I really don't see any difference with that of the test page from outside wordpress. I really don't know what to do now...

   Edit: just found out that it has something to do with the subdomain were it's in, when I place it in the main domain or forum subdomain, it does work. But I can't do that so I'll have to find something...
