Hello,

I have a question regarding the Iframe component. I have placed a view that is available when I use SCADA through my browser. However, when I run it in Workstation in kiosk mode the window is empty. There is nothing in it, not even an error or view error message. What could be the cause?

Greetings  
Michał

Is that Polish for "run"?

Does the site allow wrapping in an IFrame?

Yes sorry, my bad

I haven't tested this I assumed that since it works on a browser it should also work on a Workstation

Do a test. Save the code below into a text file 'iFrame.html' on your local drive. Open it in the browser. You should see the NeverSSL home page.

```auto
<html>
  <head>
    <title>IFrame test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <iframe 
	  src="http://neverssl.com" 
	  title="My IFrame test"
	  width = "100%"
	  height = "100%"
	>
	</iframe>
  </body>
</html>

```

Edit it and put in the URL of the site you are trying to IFrame and see if it works. If not then the site isn't allowing it.

Ok, I pasted my link into this html extension and I got a message that the server rejected the connection. In that case, why does the IFrame component work in SCADA on the browser and not work on the workstation?

If I understand this method correctly, it means that the Iframe should not work at all on SCADA in the browser?

But testing your html page actually seems to work on both browser and Workstation:

What do you mean when you say "SCADA"? Is this some other system?

OK. On the Ignition forum you should call it the "Perspective client" to avoid confusion.

I don't use Workstation so someone else will have to help you.
