Hi,  
When I enter a path in the iframe and it doesn't find it, I get an error message which I have opened the topic for.  
Is there any way I can handle this?  
If the specified path is not correct then look for another one.  
I was thinking of try except

Does the page you are trying to view allow inline framing?  
Try replacing the URL with another. I use [http://neverssl.com](http://neverssl.com) for stuff like this. It just has a simple home page.

I will describe the exact story:  
When the meter finishes measuring, it runs a script and saves the measured data in PDF format to a specified folder structure (I want to display this). e.g.: [http://abcde:8889/PDF/02\_Shaft/X/Y.pdf](http://abcde:8889/PDF/02_Shaft/X/Y.pdf).  
but sometimes it does not save the whole data at once, but in this format  
[http://abcde:8889/PDF/02\_Shaft/X@Y.pdf](http://abcde:8889/PDF/02_Shaft/X@Y.pdf)  
X= partNumber  
Y = serialNumber  
Sometimes the meter program does not save it directly to the partNumber folder, but just puts it in the 02\_Number folder with the format if you use "@".  
Sometimes it settles after 2 minutes ,but sometimes it takes a few hours.

IFrames generally cannot interact with the page into which they are embedded, and it is all at the browser, so there's simply no way to make a `try-except` structure. The only approach I can think of is to verify the validity of the URL via `httpClient` before you ever allow it to be used in an IFrame.
