hi. i am trying to put forums on my website. i have them in an iframe which is inside of a td tag for a table. the problem i am having is that i cant seem to get the td or the iframe to dynamically resize their height if the height of the forum page changes. all i can seem to do it set it at a particular height. ive tried using height="100%" on both the td and the iframe but that doesnt help. what can i do to make them be the right size?

First I'll need to see your website.

I would also like to point out a few of the horrible things iframes can do to search engines.

-search engines may index your content for the iframe by itself, leaving people that visit your site stuck on a page with content and no links

-search engines may give up trying to index your site because they cant find your content

-your keywords contained in iframes will not be indexed as part of your main page.

there are more problems with them.... I would try to avoid them

If your set on iframes let me have a look at your site and I can help you out.
