Thanks for the help, this is a good start as it lets me hook into shadowbox load, but I'm still stuck with the other side of the problem. What I need to do is grab the width and height of an element contained within the iFrame and resize the elements that contain the iFrame based on those sizes. As the iFrame is displaying content from off-site it's causing a permission denied error (or at least I think that's what's causing it).
