The browser (IE 6) takes up most of the screen and the navigation bar on the left side of the screen is about 5 inches high (so it is significantly larger than the portlet). > The height of the content is dictated by many factors, including: > The height of the portlet's content. The height of the content greatly exceeds the height of the portlet -- in some cases it is just displaying a URL from some other site. > Height of portlets in the same row.

I was setting the height of the IFrame to 100% -- I would have thought that would do just what I want... So I guess the question now becomes, why doesn't height="100%" take up all the available space? I am also setting the width to 100% and that seems to work as expected. The HTML 4.01 Specification says IFrames support "100%" for height... Any other ideas?
