FINALLY! 100% Responsive iFrame for HTML Page Snippet

FINALLY! 100% Responsive iFrame for HTML Page Snippet

For the past two years or so I have been battling with Page Snippets' responsiveness (HTML, Embed, and ZML). Furthermore, if you use the native embedded reports, especially more than one report on a page, you have to set a static height because they're not very responsive, and if they are, it's never correct.

I always divert to the iFrames for ease, however, it's been virtually impossible to get the iFrames' responsiveness correct. In the last 24 hours I decided to give it my all, and bam! I got it. I am sharing this because I don't believe anyone on here has shared CSS/HTML that actually works for iFrame responsiveness, including Zoho support. Hope this helps anyone with the same/similar issues. 

Also, please note, to keep the entire <div> responsive, it would be best to add content/<div>'s inside the "parent-container" if you need to add more Forms, Reports, etc. to the Page. 

The code below is a single <div> containing two separate iFrames/Reports, as seen in the photo examples. 
  1. <style>
  2. .parent-container {
  3. display: flex;
  4. width: 100%;
  5. height: calc(100vh - 120px);
  6.  }
  7. .child-container {
  8. flex: 1;
  9. margin: 10px;
  10. }
  11. .child-container:first-child {
  12. flex: 0 0 60%;
  13. margin-right: 5px;
  14. }
  15. </style>
  16. <div class="parent-container">
  17. <iframe src="https://creatorapp.zoho.com/App_Admin/App_Name/view-embed/Report_Name" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen class="child-container"></iframe>
  18. <iframe src="https://creatorapp.zoho.com/App_Admin/App_Name/view-embed/Report_Name" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen class="child-container"></iframe>
  19. </div>
