Custom HTML object displays blank iframe

jvanas over 12 years ago

I am not a HTML programmer and just copying code from others - so pardon my ignorance.

I am trying to add a Custom HTML object to a Orion NPM View to return some news, or really any other external website.

Here is the code I added to the Custom HTML object:

Which in theory should draw an iframe and display google.com in it for testing purposes. But all it does is display the iframe with blank content. I am running NPM 10.2.2.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA! - Josh

The browser you are using most likely doesn't support iFrames. Try just doing an object. Ex: <object data= http://www.google.com width="500" height="500"> </object> This should work for you.

Thanks, I tried that and I get similar results.

Now there is no frame (as expected) but still no external website data. Just a blank "Custom HTML" page.

I have tried a couple of browsers, Safari, Firefox, Chrome. All same results.

Sorry. Can you try typing it out instead of copying / pasting? Have you tried IE? I am using IE9 and it this works for me.

I am using IE9. I hand typed the code. All IE9 returns is a box with a red X in it where the google page should be.
I am however able to get Image SRC references working in a Custom HTML. For example, this works fine:
<IMG ALT="Live Weather" SRC="">radar.weather.gov/.../centgrtlakes_loop.gif" BORDER="0">

I am getting the exact same results. Trying to get an external embed website to work. If i tried setting up the local solarwinds site itself to be embed it works and that gif works, but nothing else it seems to. Did you ever find out what is was?
