Comments on: Fixing Broken IFrames in Your Blog

There are many ‘mainstream’ sites that provide widgets with iframes. They don’t get garbled up if we install the code in a sidebar. Seems the WP post problem is an editor bug whereby the code is lost if you switch from html to visual view. Leave it untouched in html view and it works — but we are only human and tend to go back into the (draft) post to edit text, etc… I’d appreciate any url references you have for general security issues around IFrames. I’ve used the static Google Map for years and it’s an iframe.
Thanks.

I still prefer to just try to avoid using iFrames wherever possible. Sure you might lose out on some widget functionality, but to me it’s just so risky running iFrames pulling content from some third party. Both from a usability (their site could always go down/widget break) and security perspective.

Hi Ruchi, nice to see you again. If I find out any more info, I’d probably update this post or add a comment…

Thanks a lot for sharing this post. I was not aware about Iframes in so details. Waiting for your next article about iframes.
