Create a "Web Page" Region Type

andy.saunders-lucy Public · Jan 13 2025

Idea Summary
Create a new Region Type called “Web Page” which can take a page item URL as source making it easier to embed external websites into applications.

Use Case
This would be useful for applications that contain lists of URL's to reference sites such as company procedures or forms, or in my case to WIKI Pages.

The current methods of trying to use iFrames simply do not work.

This is a great idea! So much that we have already implemented it in a previous release of APEX.

    I don't know if it's an APEX thing. To test, I added a region with source: 

     <iframe src="https://www.google.com/" height="100" width="300" title="Iframe Example"></iframe>

    This is the output:

    Firefox Can’t Open This Page

    To protect your security, www.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

    This is already available (and has been for years) in the form of the URL region type.

    Like much else this is chronically un(der)documented. See the online help of URL region attributes for what little further information is available.

    The current methods of trying to use iFrames simply do not work.

    As noted above, the primary reason for this (including the iFrame mode on URL regions) is that the security configuration of the source website forbids its inclusion in a frame on another site.
