I'm having some trouble figuring out how to extend an iframe to 100% of it's container element in Firefox and IE (it works fine in Chrome). From searching around, it makes sense that there has to be a width specified on the containing div (and possibly body and html as well). However, I have done that, and the iframe is still not extending. Do all of the parent divs have to have a specified width and position for this to work, or just the containing parent? Any fix for this would be greatly appreciated!

Here's what I have:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
    <style>
         html, body {margin:0; padding:0; height:100%}
         #container {width: 1000px; min-height: 550px; position: relative}
         #smallContainer {position:relative} /*no width specified*/
         #iframeContainer {height: 100%; position: relative}
         #iframe {height: 100%; width: 100%; display: block}

    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="container">
            <div id="smallContainer">
                <div id="iframeContainer">
                    <iframe id="iframe" src="foo.com"></iframe>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

    </body>
</html>
