I'm trying to dynamically set the height of my Iframe.  my https: main page
is calling another https in an Iframe.  But i get an access denied error
from my javascript trying to call the parent document.

Main https page
       <IFRAME  APPLICATION="yes"    style="width:100%;"  id="iframename"
frameborder="no" scrolling="no" SRC="https://www.otherdomain.com">



otherdomain.com html
------------------------------------------------
<script>
function bodyheight() {
    x = document.body.scrollHeight
    parent.document.all.iframename.style.height = x
}
</script>

And there, in your SRC attribute, is the source of your problems. You 
are trying to script one domain from another and that is a *very* 
serious breach of security. It doesn't matter that they both belong to 
you, the browser doesn't care. They aren't the same domain.

Further, that line will only work in IE and a very small list of other 
browsers since its the only ones that support document.all
