Menu
Is there a way to make the height of the <iframe> reach exactly the bottom of the page? It is hard to judge by using height:xx%, and it might be dependent on browser.
The code is below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="margin:0">
<p style="margin:10px"> hello </p>
<iframe src="http://www.weather.com" style="width:100%; height:95%"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Using JavaScript/jQuery, you can precisely set the right dimension for the IFRAME element, without the need to access to DOM of the frame itself (cross-domain issues), relying on tables or absolute positioning (useless if the content above the frame is dynamic in height):
$(function() {
var aboveHeight = $("#aboveFrame").outerHeight(true);
$(window).resize(function() {
$('#frame').height( $(window).height() - aboveHeight );
}).resize();
});

As annoying as it is to use tables for layout, they're still the best way to consistently handle vertical dimensions. The following still displays a few white pixels around the edge of the iframe, and has an extra scrollbar in some versions of Firefox, but is as close as I've been able to achieve:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="padding:0; margin:0; height:100%">
<body style="padding:0; margin:0; height:100%">
<table style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; height:100%; width:100%">
<tr style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0">
<td style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0">
<p style="margin:10px"> hello </p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0">
<td style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; height:100%">
<iframe src="http://www.weather.com" style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; width:100%; height:100%"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
If you really want to avoid the table elements, you might get some traction out of div tags with display:table, display:table-row, and display:table-cell, but be prepared for even more annoying quirks in certain browsers.
