iFrame Question

Hi Folks,

I have a few questions on iFrames - but before I ask the few questions I need to know the answer to one

Using 7.1g - is it possible to use an iFrame within a custom asp page?
I have tested and it appears to be blocked or cannot be detected

The idea is - we have a separate web application running on a different server and would like to load this in CRM

Look forward to your reply or if you can advise a different approach

Thanks

Paul

    Hi Paul,

    Yes, Iframes have always been the security concern and that is the reason why they might have been removed in coming versions. Iframe coding is always open to cross site scripting and hence considered insecure. Now coming back to your question, I assume your iframe is not loading. First thing you must look at is whether your IE allows to load Iframe contents. To allow the same you have to follow below steps.

    1. Open IE
    2. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> security and click on Custom Level
    3. Scroll down to Miscellaneous section and select “Enabled” under “Launching programs and files in an IFRAME”

    If this too doesn’t help, I think you have to change the way you write your iframe in page. Instead of using tag, you can use document object methods to create document element iframe and then add it on the page.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Dinesh,

    Thanks for the reply, wasn't sure if it was a general browser security issue or a CRM security.

    Thanks,

    Paul
