I'm populating an iframe with some contents that are injected into it but I'm unable to size it correctly. I've tried a variety of methods but here is the most recent code.

After populating the iframe with an html based mail message it doesn't seem to register the scroll height.

    <iframe scrolling="no" width="100%" onload="javascript:(LoadIFrame(this));" >
HTML content goes here.  Make sure it's long enough to need to scroll before testing.
</iframe>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function LoadIFrame(iframe) {
        $("iframe").each(function() {
            $(this).load(function() {
                var doc = this.document;
                if (this.contentDocument) {
                    doc = this.contentDocument;
                } else if (this.contentWindow) {
                    doc = this.contentWindow.document;
                } else if (this.document) {
                    doc = this.document;
                }
                this.height = (doc.body.scrollHeight + 50) + 'px';
                this.onload = '';
            });

            txt = $(this).text();
            var doc = this.document;
            if (this.contentDocument) {
                doc = this.contentDocument;
            } else if (this.contentWindow) {
                doc = this.contentWindow.document;
            } else if (this.document) {
                doc = this.document;
            }
            doc.open();
            doc.writeln(txt);
            doc.close();
        });
    }
</script>
