Hello,

I use Shiny applications running with the RStudio server. How to embed them in a html document ?

I am ignorant about html. In my (experimental) blog I publish articles obtained by copying the source code of an html file produced with `knitr`, and I'd like to write an article including a Shiny application.

You can use an iframe -- that's actually what's done on the main RStudio Shiny page: http://www.rstudio.com/shiny/

The code there is something like this:

Thank you Joe.

I have just found a nice way to create html slides from Markdown with Pandoc and I have given an example including my Shiny application: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/332660/writing-mathematical-presentations-using-mathjax/333102#333102

How to get the original layout (left, mainpanel). Your layout is top down, not the usual layout shiny has. Any idea?

I don't know a precise answer, cause I am really not proficient in html.

But you shoud not draw some conclusions from the article of my blog: there are many styles options which are automatically set by the overblog website, and I don't control these options. For example, try the following minimal html file :

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<iframe src="http://glimmer.rstudio.com/stla/3Dsliced/" style="border: black; width: 1500px; height: 700px"></iframe>

</body>
</html>

and try to play with the options in iframe (googling for "html iframe" provides a lot of informations).

Hello,

My main customer that needs this functionality has recently applied a patch on their IIS web server that messes up anything in an iframe. Is there a way to embed R/Shiny without using an iframe?

Thank you in advance!

Don

Hi,

Have you tried to request a Google search with "html alternative iframe" ?
