I doubt this is actually possible but Im prepared to be corrected.

What I need is to be able to detect the width and height of an iframe from within the iframe, so if the iframe src is iframeContent.html I need to be able to surface the values on this page.

I have no control over the page that hosts the iframe only the contents of the iframe.

Is this possible?

Nowadays this is as simple as:

<script>

  console.log(innerWidth, innerHeight)

</script>

Just make sure to load this JavaScript from within the iframe and it will print the iframe window's width and height in the browser's console.
