Running Servoy Web Client inside a Frame or IFrame

By default, a Web Client runs in the main browser window, but it is possible to run the Web Client inside a Frame/IFrame embedded in another webpage.

Embed HMTL code

To embed a Web Client solution into an IFrame, use the following HTML fragment inside the webpage where the Web Client solution is to be embedded:

<iframe name="{someName}" src="{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient/ss/s/{mySolutionName}"></iframe>

Note: Make sure to provide a unique name for each IFrame within the webpage: the Servoy Web Client internals use the name to control page reloads when those occur. Failure to uniquely identify a specific IFrame may result in unexpected behavior.

Cross domain embedding

When running a Web Client solution is run inside an Frame or IFrame (here onwards just called frame) and the domain of the page into which the frame is embedded (for example: http://www.mycompany.com/pagewithframes.html) does not equal the domain from which the Web Client is hosted (for example http://mycompany.hostingcompany.com), there is a possible issue with the ability of storing HTTP Cookies.
Based on the settings of the browser, these so-called Third Party Cookies are blocked from storage. Internet Explorer does this by default, most other browsers allow it by default, but this can be turned off by the user.
