Adjusting width and length parameters of code creates random results, sometimes it fits and what I preview is what I see in a browser, other times what the browser shows is different. To make it more infuriating, different Iframe code inserted in two identical pages renders differently on a mobile device. Is it a Xara thing or Iframe code in general. Do people using products like WordPress and Jooomla have the same issues?
Such failings are usually down to the person inserting snippets and not understanding the fact that the page's behaviour is being totally changed. Had you done the same with anyHTML editor, you would have failed the page's rendition. It is not a "Xara thing"; Xara provides relatively robust code across the major browser families and formats without exposing the designer to HTML vagaries.

Widths are usually sorted by setting the parameter to 100% or auto or whatever IFRAME parameters allow - do not rely on a snippet of code working everywhere without proper testing.
