Confluence: iFrame not displaying website

[Jeremiah Landi]

Hello,

I have added the iFrame HTML macro to my page. When I try to add a website it just shows a white box. I have tried adding:

• http://www.purple.com
• http://www.google.com

But it always displays a white empty box (in preview and live on page). Any ideas?

I can add internal links just fine.

Hi Jeremiah,

Have you add the url to the whitelist?

Tags in this document are wrong.
I can't configure the whitelist in Confluence Cloud, there is no option.

Did you ever find a solution? Im getting google sites loading but one of our own not loading?

I am also on the same boat. I have Bitbucket on whitelist but it does not load on iframe

<div>

<iframe> ...

...

</div>

if you still want a solution I have one using a JS script I found on another article ;) 

<script>

  $(document).ready(function() {

    $.ajax({

        method: 'GET',

        url: 'https://URL.com/roadmap.html',

        dataType: 'text',

        success: function(data) {

        var iframe = document.getElementById('result');

        iframe = iframe.contentWindow || ( iframe.contentDocument.document || iframe.contentDocument);

        iframe.document.open();

        iframe.document.write(data);

        iframe.document.close();

      }

    });

  });

</script>

The issue usually happens because many external sites block being loaded in an iframe with security headers like X-Frame-Options. That’s why pages like Google won’t show up. A better test is to use a site that allows embedding. I actually wrote about similar iframe problems on my site earthstonerock.com
,which might give you some extra pointers.
