[Building Sakai] Question about 271 site-manage issue

[Zhen Qian]

For site-manage, there is a utils.resizeFrame() function defined in
site-manage.js, which could also resize the iframe based on the document
height. There are a couple of examples in site-manage vm files that calls
utils.resizeFrame().

Hope this helps.
