iframe code does not work in J! 3.8.5

[ktwatson]

We want to include an inline form via frames, and with the migration to J! 3.8.5, this code has stopped working:

<p><iframe src="http://fs19.formsite.com/robynadair/for ... 9414318850" width="900" height="1500"></iframe></p>

What shows in the position is an empty rectangle where the form should show.

Tried creating a custom module and that did not work either.

Would appreciate some guidance to resolve issue.

Do you own/manage the website at "fs19.formsite.com/robynadair" ?

[ktwatson]

Yes-that person is a member of our organization, but is not me. Are there permissions required before the form will show?

If you do not own or manage the target of the iFrame then it's conceivable for the owner of that website to block the use/embedding of thwir website's contents by another website; it happens all the time. Another reason may be the target URL was unreachable at the time. They're two reasons why iFrames are generally disapproved of; you never know when the thing won't work. You may need to discuss this matter with the owner of that website. Perhaps they changed something?

It's highly unlikely that updating to J! 3.8.5 caused this issue. My suspicion is that the two events were pure coincidence. I could be wrong but I have not seen any reports or indications that iFrames do not work with J! 3.8.5.

Did you try the Wrapper Module?

[ktwatson]

I just tried the wrapper module with the same result.

.. which probably means that the website you're trying to iFrame to is either offline/unavailable or the owner of that site has prevented you embedding their content as an iFrame in your site.

[ktwatson]

Yes, that's my assessment now. Thanks for your reply.
