Measure a web page on another domain in javascript

Question

I need to find out the height of the web pages that go in my iframe. Those pages are out of my control and there is no way I can place code in them. I guess I could add a proxy function to my server but I'd rather avoid that if at all possible because bandwidth.

Is there any way to do this?

If you're just trying to stretch your iframe to match your embedded content, try looking at Make iframe automatically adjust height according to the contents without using scrollbar?

That being said, this will NOT work for cross-domain iframes due to Same Origin Policy

If you'd take a few minutes to actually read the thread, there is a link in the comments to a solution that may help. – CollinD Sep 15 '15 at 06:40
that solution requires access to the frames source domain – user81993 Sep 15 '15 at 06:42

Yes and without one of those two options, you cannot do this through JavaScript, as per those discussions. – CollinD Sep 15 '15 at 06:42
