The plan: sandbox with JavaScript and iframes It gave me the help I needed to to enable the local content to be added into the iframe via JavaScript. Add local content to an iframe with JavaScript? In the meantime time is money so I needed to press on and find a solution. Is there a way? I’d love to do this without JS if possible. For example, adding this inside an existing HTML page does not work: Īfter trying many things, I still wasn’t able to author the iframe in advance that included only local content. It doesn’t seem possible to author an iframe inside an existing page that contains only local content. However, this presents further problem iframes are for showing external content on a page (our primitive page within a page description). After all, an iframe is a separate document rendered inside the existing one. To truly limit the reach of the external styles we could use an iframe. However, as already mentioned, the external CSS typically has its own global defaults set (default styling for elements) so it never truly isolates what gets applied. Obviously it’s possible to pseudo-scope CSS crudely by name-spacing. It didn’t create the ‘sandbox’ environment I was looking for. Even ‘normalize’ styles and the like would make subtle changes to the appearance of the rendered snippets. Like embedding a Codepen/JSBin onto the page if you will but with local, not external content.Īlthough it’s trivial to bring in a separate style sheet that is relevant to the code snippet (just by adding another link in the ), the existing CSS could/would still apply to the code snippet too. Why would you want to load local content inside an iframe? Surely it would be better to just place it inside the existing page structure? Well, in my instance I wanted to see isolated code (HTML/CSS) snippets on an existing page, rendered by an external style sheet. But what if you want to have local content inside an iframe? This only seems possible with a little JavaScript but there is a way to do it. Now, in place of src, we can set the srcdoc and pass the whole document as value.Iframes are principally used for loading external content onto an existing page. We have used the src attribute to specifies the URL of the webpage that we want to display inside the frame block. In HTML, we can use the srcdoc attribute inside the iframe to override the src attribute. We can also specify the height and width using the style attribute: If you don’t specify the iframe inside any element then it will calculate the size according to the browser. It will calculate the size of the parent element. However, we can also set the height and width of the iframe in percentage: If the browser will not support this, it will choose the src address to display. It is used to display the content inside the frame assuming that the browser will support this document. We use this attribute when we embed an untrusted website inside an iframe. It specifies the feature policy of an iframe element. The value of the width will be in pixels ( by default) This attribute specifies the height of the frame size. It specifies the URL of the destination webpage that will be displayed inside a frame. It is used with the tag to change the src address of the iframe element. We have listed some of them that are very useful: Attribute There are tons of attributes supported by Iframe. Use the height and width attributes to specify the size of the frame Before HTML5, we can use the height and width in percentage but in HTML5 we can set the height and width in pixels. It represents the size of the frame in pixel(px). In the above code, we have used height = ‘400’ and width = ‘705’. Have you noticed? that we have used height and width as the attribute of the iframe. Set the height and Width of the iframe element If you write this code inside your webpage, you will see the output exactly like this: Let’s add our website inside a frame using an iframe element. Here, the src attribute defined the address of the webpage. If you use iframe on your page, you will see the full content of that webpage inside a frame. We use Iframe to embed any other webpage inside our webpage. If you liked this chapter, do follow our other tutorials too. This chapter is a part of the Complete HTML Tutorial. Iframe element is used to embed another webpage in your website. In this chapter, we will learn about Iframe in HTML.
