EmbeddedHTML

EmbeddedHTML["string"]

is an object that formats as a web frame containing the HTML content "string".

✖
EmbeddedHTML[URL["url"]]

formats as a rendering of the webpage corresponding to the specified URL.

✖

formats as a web rendering of the specified cloud object.

Details and Options

  • The string given to EmbeddedHTML can be HTML for a full HTML page, given in the form <html> ... </html>, or can be a sequence of pure HTML tags of the kind found in the body of an HTML page.
  • Using JavaScript or CSS requires giving the HTML for a full HTML page.
  • EmbeddedHTML is fully supported in the Wolfram Cloud System and can appear at any level in an expression. On desktop systems, it may be supported only as a separate browser window.
  • In the Wolfram Cloud System, EmbeddedHTML is rendered in an iframe and is robust with respect to malformed and malicious HTML.
  • The following option can be used:
  • ImageSize Automaticwidth and height reserved for web frame rendering
    "CompletePage" Falsewhether the given HTML string represents a full HTML page
    "Title" Automaticcaption of the button opening the browser window, when rendering as a button
    "Verify" Truewhether to verify that the webpage allows embedding
  • With ImageSize->Automatic, the web frame will be large enough space to render the HTML, so long as this does not make it larger than the notebook in which it appears.
  • With "Title"->Automatic, the button's title will be a shortened version of the literal HTML string or the embedded URL.
  • In EmbeddedHTML[URL[…]], if a webpage's headers forbid embedding, a link is returned that opens the webpage in a separate browser window.

Options  (4)Common values & functionality for each option

ImageSize  (1)

Specify the size of the embedded HTML:

In[1]:=1
✖

Out[1]=1

"CompletePage"  (1)

Specify a complete HTML page including its HTML head:

In[1]:=1
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0v5uff33qdhdq-w9exlk
Out[1]=1

Note that automatic size detection does not work with "CompletePage"->True, so the embedding will use the full available size of the notebook.

"Title"  (1)

Specify the caption of the button opening the HTML page:

"Verify"  (1)

Disable verification that a website allows embedding, which might result in an iframe that fails to display:

Possible Issues  (2)Common pitfalls and unexpected behavior

A webpage's headers might forbid embedding, so it will be shown as a button that opens the webpage in a separate browser tab, even in a cloud notebook:

In[1]:=1
✖

Out[1]=1

JavaScript code running in the embedded HTML cannot access the outer window due to sandboxing. Any such attempt will result in a browser console error:
