[UPHPU] FF can't read height within modal

On a project that is using SimpleModal [1] [2], a separate page is  
being loaded into the modal via an iframe (one of options the modal  
script provides). I have a div within the page that is loaded into the  
modal that has a height. If I load this page directly (outside of the  
modal), I can successfully read it's height with jQuery in all  
browsers. Firefox however cannot read the height of the div when the  
page is loaded within the modal (Safari does just fine). When I load  
the page in a vanilla iframe, Firefox reads the height fine. It's only  
in the modal's iframe that it returns zero. I am absolutely stumped.  
It's as if the script that reads the height is not respecting the  
jQuery $(document).ready when run within the modal in Firefox (ie:  
it's trying to read the height before the page has finished rendering).

Any ideas?
