Can i stop Orbeon/YUI rendering an iframe in the form?

Hi all,

When I run my form in the Form Runner environment probably the YUI library renders a iframe in the source

<iframe id="_yuiResizeMonitor" title="Text Resize Monitor" style="position: absolute; visibility: visible; width: 10em; height: 10em; top: -134px; left: -134px; border-width: 0pt;"></iframe>

Because of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines I cant use iframes (beside the fact that I hate iframes anyway)
Does anybody know how to make sure this iframe doesnt get rendered in my code?

I also tried to remove the iframe with javascript but I cant get a reference to it the following statement returns null.
document.getElementById('yuiResizeMonitor');

Anybody a idea to turn the feature of? or how I can remove it with javascript?

tnx Ramon

I figured out why the javascript removal option didnt work, that has to
do timing
the iframe gets rendered by YUI javascript and simply was not there yet

so for now I have a dirty piece of javascript that does the trick but I
would appreciate
if somebody could help me to a better solution.

the fix for now

function removeIframe(){
var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
if(body.firstChild.nodeName=='IFRAME'){
body.removeChild( body.firstChild );
}
}
setTimeout ( 'removeIframe()', 1000 );

Regards Ramon

Ramon,

This hidden iframe is created by the YUI container.js code, and there isn't really a way to disable it. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines shouldn't be concerned with that iframe, as it isn't used as a "real iframe" that contains useful content for end users, but as an implementation trick to detect window resizes in the browser. But it might be harder to convince someone blindly enforcing a policy than to remove it, like you did ;).
