For example I have placed Bret's post about the new share button here: http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/blog... but I've had to manually adjust the width and more importantly the height. I fear this is impossible but it would b nice to have it out of frame and no scroll bars when you get more and more comments and avoid the huge space at the bottom of you select to have a large height amount. #betakoltag-sg-extservices - Kol Tregaskes

Technically possible, but not straightforward. Basically you need to have a javascript script running at your end that will watch for length of incoming FF-stream, and local screen-redraws (when a user ups font-size, say) and adjust –i.e. rewrite– height argument of the iframe element. Alternatively, you could put the feed sans iframe on a layer of its own, and superimpose it on a part of the page, but that takes effort to get it running in platform-independent and browser-compatible way. - ianf ⌘

Shame, so basically we'e stuck with the frame. Perhaps if part of the comments are hidden in the 'x more comments' link that would be an interesting option? - Kol Tregaskes

<Embed> is always explicit as to the width/ height (or length for text "tails") argument. Try amending it, set them to "" (nil), see it take over the entire page (depending on browser, btw). The proscribed way to do what you request would be to calculate how many lines of embedded stream at current (just-detected) font size will fit into the iframe (not "frame") box, then page the output with own-supplied "More" link at the end. Simple, innit? ;-(( - ianf ⌘

Hehe, I need to lie down. Oh well, it's pretty good as is. Perhaps I could blog my favourite posts I've shared on FF as embedded versions. It's better than nothing which is what is happening on my blogs right now. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Well, you could write a custom Wordpress add-in to do that for you. - Roberto Bonini

If only I could code. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Thought you worked in computer games, Kol?? - Roberto Bonini

I wasn't a programmer, I was a webmaster, admin, accounts, tester, network admin, mastering, etc. etc. No coding. - Kol Tregaskes

Awwww :( - Roberto Bonini

since it is an iframe you can probably use some css to control the y-overflow or x-overflow property of the frame to remove the potential of scrolling.. it should be fairly trivial block scrolling from happening The problem of course, is that once the comments fill the space you won't see any comments you can't scroll too. - Bill Rawlinson

Bill, you're thinking "static" reading. But what if user bumps up font size, you think your absolute overflow values will change? An iframe is an iframe is an iframe. Never used them, nor do I intend to, but perhaps they have a no-scrolling argument. But without additional intricate scripting it's bound to remain a kludge. - ianf ⌘
