IFrame View

The IFrame view allows embedding 3rd party websites into a view or viewlet.

A Note About Performance

Given the freedom provided with being able to embed 3rd party content, we cannot guarantee that your third party content is performant concurrently - and therefore cannot guarantee that this won't adversely affect Periscope stability.

Most modern browsers support a maximum of 6 concurrent connections to the same host which may be relevant when embedding many pages in the same view.

It's important to note that connections to the BoxService in Niagara that facilitate PX pages counts against this limit.


Configuration

  • URL - URL of the external party website (must include the appropriate protocol, 'http://' or 'https://')


HTTP vs. HTTPS

Most browsers do not allow mixed active content, that is mixing HTTP and HTTPS frames in a single webpage. In other words, if you are hosting Periscope on HTTP, you will only be able to embed other HTTP sites.
