+
+The **`requestResize()`** method of the {{domxref("Window")}} interface updates the size information shared by an embedded document with its embedding parent, but only if the embedded page has opted in to sharing its size information.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```js-nolint
+requestResize()
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+None.
+
+### Return value
+
+None ({{jsxref("undefined")}}).
+
+## Description
+
+For security and privacy reasons, {{htmlelement("iframe")}} elements do not by default expose any information to the parent page about the size of the content they are embedding.
+
+To enable responsive sizing of {{htmlelement("iframe")}} elements based on their content, the [`<meta name="responsive-embedded-sizing">`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/meta/name/responsive-embedded-sizing) tag can be included in an embedded document to opt it in to sharing its size information with the parent page. The {{cssxref("frame-sizing")}} CSS property can then be set on the `<iframe>` to cause it to adopt the same horizontal or vertical size as the embedded content's actual content size (termed the **internal layout intrinsic size** in the spec). This is useful for avoiding scrollbars on embedded content so that it fits more seamlessly with its embedder.
+
+To resize the `<iframe>` dynamically as the embedded content changes size, you can call the {{domxref("Window.requestResize()")}} method from the embedded page to make it report an updated size, typically from within the event handler that caused the content to change size. If the `<iframe>` is sized using `frame-sizing`, it will then update its size automatically so that it still neatly contains the embeded content.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Using `requestResize()`
+
+Our [`requestResize()` demo](https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/responsive-iframe-sizing/js-request-resize/) ([see source code](https://github.com/mdn/dom-examples/tree/main/responsive-iframe-sizing/js-request-resize)) demonstrates usage of the `requestResize()` method.
+
+#### HTML
+
+We have two HTML pages. The main `index.html` page contains a heading and an `<iframe>`, into which is embedded the `frame.html` page:
+
+```html
+<h1>Responsive iframes — basic example</h1>
+
+<iframe src="frame.html"></iframe>
+```
+
+The `frame.html` page includes a {{htmlelement("div")}} element with a [`tabindex`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/tabindex) value of `0` set so that it is focusable. It contains a heading and some paragraphs. The page also includes the `<meta name="responsive-embedded-sizing" />` tag, which opts it in to sharing its content layout size with the parent page.
+
+```html
+<head>
+  ...
+
+  <meta name="responsive-embedded-sizing" />
+
+  ...
+</head>
+<body>
+  <div tabindex="0">
+    <h1>This is my frame</h1>
+    <p>This is the content of my discontent.</p>
+    <p>This is some more content.</p>
+  </div>
+</body>
+```
+
+#### CSS
+
+The `<iframe>` in the `index.html` page is given a `frame-sizing` value of `content-block-size`. Because the `<iframe>` has a horizontal `writing-mode`, its `height` will be set to the embedded content's layout height.
+
+```css
+iframe {
+  frame-sizing: content-block-size;
+  border: 2px solid gray;
+}
+```
+
+#### JavaScript
+
+The script in the `frame.html` page starts by grabbing a reference to the `<div>` element. It then sets `click` and `keypress` event listeners on the `<div>`, both of which run a custom function called `addParagraph()` when the event fires.
+
+```js
+const divElem = document.querySelector("div");
+divElem.addEventListener("click", addParagraph);
+window.addEventListener("keypress", addParagraph);
+```
+
+The `addParagraph()` function generates a new paragraph element and appends it to the end of the `<div>` as a child, increasing its height. It then calls `requestResize()` so that the new height is reported to the parent page.
+
+```js
+function addParagraph() {
+  const para = document.createElement("p");
+  para.textContent = "New content.";
+  divElem.appendChild(para);
+  window.requestResize();
+}
+```
+
+#### Result
+
+{{EmbedGHLiveSample("responsive-iframe-sizing/js-request-resize/", "100%", 300)}}
+
+Even though no explicit `height` has been set on the `<iframe>`, it is sized to the right height to exactly contain its embedded content, with no scroll bars. Try clicking on the `<div>` or focusing it and pressing a key on the keyboard. As a new paragraph is added to the `<div>`, the `<div>` grows in height, but the `<iframe>` also grows in height to match it.

+sidebar: cssref
+---
+
+The **`frame-sizing`** [CSS](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS) property can be used to set an {{htmlelement("iframe")}} element's horizontal or vertical size to equal the layout size of its embedded content in the same dimension, but only if the embedded page has opted in to sharing its size information.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```css
+/* Keyword values */
+frame-sizing: auto;
+frame-sizing: content-width;
+frame-sizing: content-height;
+frame-sizing: content-inline-size;
+frame-sizing: content-block-size;
+
+/* Global values */
+frame-sizing: inherit;
+frame-sizing: initial;
+frame-sizing: revert;
+frame-sizing: revert-layer;
+frame-sizing: unset;
+```
+
+### Values
+
+The `frame-sizing` property value is equal to one of the following keywords:
+
+- `auto`
+  - : The inital value. The `<iframe>` element's size is not affected by the layout size of its embedded content.
+- `content-width`
+  - : The `<iframe>` element's {{cssxref("width")}} is set to the layout width of its embedded content.
+- `content-height`
+  - : The `<iframe>` element's {{cssxref("height")}} is set to the layout height of its embedded content.
+- `content-inline-size`
+  - : The `<iframe>` element's {{cssxref("inline-size")}} is set to the layout size of its embedded content in the inline direction.
+- `content-block-size`
+  - : The `<iframe>` element's {{cssxref("block-size")}} is set to the layout size of its embedded content in the block direction.
+
+## Description
+
+For security and privacy reasons, {{htmlelement("iframe")}} elements do not by default expose any information to the parent page about the size of the content they are embedding.
+
+To enable responsive sizing of {{htmlelement("iframe")}} elements based on their content, the [`<meta name="responsive-embedded-sizing">`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/meta/name/responsive-embedded-sizing) tag can be included in an embedded document to opt it in to sharing its size information with the parent page. The `frame-sizing` property can then be set on the `<iframe>` to cause it to adopt the same horizontal or vertical size as the embedded content's actual content size (termed the **internal layout intrinsic size** in the spec, but abbreviated to "layout size" in our documentation). This is useful for avoiding scrollbars on embedded content so that it fits more seamlessly with its embedder.
+
+The `frame-sizing` property can take values of `content-width` or `content-height` to cause the `<iframe>` element's `width` or `height` to adopt the embedded content's layout width or layout height, respectively.
+
+There are also logical equivalents available — `frame-sizing` can take values of `content-inline-size` or `content-block-size` to cause the `<iframe>` element's `inline-size` or `block-size` to adopt the embedded content's inline size or block size, respectively. The block or inline direction is determined by the `<iframe>` element's {{cssxref("writing-mode")}}, not that of the embedded content.
+
+To resize the `<iframe>` dynamically as the embedded content changes size, you can call the {{domxref("Window.requestResize()")}} method from the embedded page to make it report an updated size.

+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic usage
+
+Our [basic responsive `<iframe>` sizing demo](https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/responsive-iframe-sizing/basic/) ([see source code](https://github.com/mdn/dom-examples/tree/main/responsive-iframe-sizing/basic)) demonstrates usage of the `frame-sizing` property.
+
+#### HTML

+
+```html
+<h1>Responsive iframes — basic example</h1>
+
+<iframe src="frame.html"></iframe>
+```
+
+The `frame.html` page contains a heading and some paragraphs. More significantly, however, it includes the `<meta name="responsive-embedded-sizing" />` tag, which opts it in to sharing its content layout size with the parent page.
+
+```html
+<head>
+  ...
+
+  <meta name="responsive-embedded-sizing" />
+
+  ...
+</head>
+<body>
+  <h1>This is my frame</h1>
+  <p>This is the content of my discontent.</p>
+  <p>This is some more content.</p>
+</body>
+```
+
+#### CSS
+
+The `<iframe>` in the `index.html` page is given a `frame-sizing` value of `content-block-size`. Because the `<iframe>` has a horizontal `writing-mode`, its `height` will be set to the embedded content's layout height.
+
+```css
+iframe {
+  frame-sizing: content-block-size;
