Sizing lightframe [#671362]

On my site I have news feeds and I am using lightbox2 to show the original site's story page - using lightframe.

This causes the other sites to open in a new tab: rel="lightframe[|width:400px; height:300px; scrolling: auto;]

However, this works just fine: rel="lightframe[|scrolling: auto;] ... that is - width/height are causing problems.

I have somewhat mitigated this problem by setting the size in HTML configuration page.

Ideally, I would love to be able to tell lightbox2 to auto size itself according to the size of the browser's open window within which it's being sized - either at 100% or with a small border through which my own underlying page is visible. Any ideas on how to do this ?

Folks, does anyone have any ideas on this, as I am totally stuck.

EDIT: I refuse to believe that this can not be done. ;)

Surely, somebody must know the answer to this ?!?

I would also really like to be able to send custom width/height parameters to light frame ..

can someone let me know if this is possible or not, and if so, what is the correct syntax?

i tried something similar to rel="lightframe[|width:400px; height:300px; scrolling: auto;] and it breaks the lightframe.

Thanks :)

Confirmed as well. The examples for controlling lightframe size given in the documentation do not work at all. The link simply loads as normal without a lightbox.

The example with the most parameters (grouping and caption) that still works correctly is:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" rel="lightframe[search][Search Yahoo]">Search yahoo</a>

All the other more complex examples do not work at all.
