Hi FliudOps

I using the latest version of iwb and trying use an Iframe in a page.
It does not display the content of the website. Even if I use the help example and try to render the fliudops.com
The browser I am using is chrome but I have also tried explorer and firefox and I get the same result.

Is there some security or application setting I need to set in IWB on on my PC?

Thanks

Phil

Hello Phil,

 

Likely this is due to a browser security setting: if you are accessing a web-page via HTTPS, it is not possible to show HTTP content in an iframe.

 

In the browser’s console you should see a warning “MIXED-CONTENT” if this is what you are facing.

 

See for instance [1] for a bit of technical explanation.

 

As this is a browser feature, you need to avoid the MIXED-CONTENT in the first place (e.g. by accessing the iframe content via HTTPS).

 

Hope this helps,

Andreas
