#12744 — IFrame question

Hi,

If I try to load an external website in an IFRAME, I get a security
error.

Google Images also use IFRAMEs and load content from external websites. 
YouTube embed codes also use IFRAMEs. They do not seem to run into any 
security errors.

When I use Javascript or HTML SRC attribute, I run into security errors.

Can the group shed some light to this problem.

<html>
  <head>
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
  </head>
  <body>
      <iframe src="http://www.google.com/search?q=hello+world"
              style="width: 95%; height: 900px; "></iframe>
  </body>
</html>

Check your security settings.

It seems to be a Google-specific issue. If I use Bing results, there is
no problem.

<html>
  <head>
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
  </head>
  <body>

      <iframe width="560" height="315" 
src="http://www.bing.com/search?q=hello+world"
              frameborder="1" allowfullscreen></iframe>

      <iframe width="560" height="315" 
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VFuGiDQAu2A"
              frameborder="1" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  </body>
</html>

You're not facing a browser/script error, but a restriction from the
page author. Google does not allow to open that page in an iframe from
another domain.

If Google Images displays content from external websites, then it
means that those websites have not put restrictions in regard to
(i-)framing.

Google probably uses custom rules to allow (i-)framing from sources
such as YouTube under certain conditions.

Hope this helps,

Yes, this seems to be the case. Serves me right for using Google
results as a test page. I will use example.com henceforth.

User Dorayme at comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html gave me this link
