Hey Bret, Did you ever figure out the solution to this?
I played around with it and could not get the native js to work either. After searching, there isn't a way to do it for pages not on your domain. If the page is in your domain, search how to make frames adjust to their contents, and add the function directly in the page. Then in the class, have the native js function call that other function in the page. Kinda a weird workaround but should work unless the pages are hosted somewhere else. After seeing these restrictions, it probably wouldn't work in SmartGWT either. If you do try it though, make sure you wrap the whole page in a window or layout, have that do auto height, and the frame have auto height. That way, the outer page will scroll if the frames contents is two big for it, but all the contents should be in that page, and not scrolling in the frame.
