As I mentioned before, Interspire Shopping Cart pages are created from the admin back-end using a WYSIWYG editor, like a content management system. So I paste the MachForm IFRAME code into the WYSIWYG editor and then I have a nice contact page. So as I mentioned I have no idea how to get the code Max posted into header or body tags because they really do not exist, at least for my contact page.</p> <p>Any other suggestions? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/auto-expanding-iframe-details-inside/page/2#post-3047 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:19:42 +0000 yuniar 3047@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the suggestion.</p> <p>Have you tried the auto expanding javascript posted on the first page?<br /> The script posted by max works great </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/auto-expanding-iframe-details-inside/page/2#post-3042 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:06:36 +0000 darkhelmet 3042@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Old post I know, but just came across it because I am having the 'height' problem with an unusual setup; I am using Interspire Shopping Cart that uses a &lt;wrapper&gt; tag that PHP generated pages are placed within. The MachForm iframe creates a huge gap (almost 30px) at the bottom of the page, just above the footer. This works great when nothing is completed on the form, which will probably never happen, since it allows all the error messages to be displayed and still see the submit button.</p> <p>I know it is impossible to develop for every type of Web site, but it would be great if some type of 'auto' height adjustment was built into MachForm.</p> <p>In the interim, does anyone have suggestion how to implement this adjustable height fix into my setup? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/auto-expanding-iframe-details-inside#post-2371 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:52:20 +0000 yuniar 2371@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for chiming in.

For instance, I can't see the right side of the recaptcha box or the right side of some of the fields. I can't see the "guidelines" I set up for some of the fields (mouseover effect). I tried adjusting that but I simply couldn't make it work - specially because I have limited knowledge on programming. I even tried both scripts listed in the previous entries without success. Any suggestions? here's a link to my "contact page" if you'd like to see how the form looks like: <a href="http://importexgbs.com/contact.php." rel="nofollow">http://importexgbs.com/contact.php.</a><br /> Thank you so much for all of you for helping us with this Forum! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/auto-expanding-iframe-details-inside#post-1656 Tue, 06 May 2008 10:09:37 +0000 yuniar 1656@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi lynne, </p> <p>Basically, you'll need to paste those javascript code into the same page where you embed your forms.</p> <p>As for max instruction above</p> <p>1) Paste the code into your page head section. Head section is somewhere between &lt;head&gt; ..&lt;/head&gt; tags. If your page doesn't have any &lt;head&gt; tag, you can add it yourself at the beginning of the page, after the &lt;title&gt; tag.</p> <p>2) Use the above code to embed your form. Replace the src="" part with your own form URL. For example src="http://www.appnitro.com/forms/embed.php?id=1"</p> <p>Hope that helps. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/auto-expanding-iframe-details-inside#post-1651 Tue, 06 May 2008 09:54:22 +0000 lynne 1651@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I am new to all of this script stuff but a quick learner.
