What is ProductBot?

The JavaScript function 'postIframeHeight' is designed to dynamically adjust the height of an iframe based on the content's scroll height. This function sends the calculated height to the parent window using the postMessage method. It is triggered on the iframe's initial load, resize events, and any changes in the iframe's content, which are detected using MutationObserver. This ensures the iframe height adapts in real time to the content changes, providing a seamless viewing experience.
