Some iframes work out-of-the-box, others need a bit of attention
When you create an annotation, Cord takes a screenshot of the document and stores it alongside the annotation.
If the document contains iframes, things can get interesting:
If the <iframe>
'ssrc
attribute is from the same origin as the document, then Cord will correctly capture the contents of that<iframe>
in the screenshot, with no special tweaks needed from the developer
If the <iframe>
'ssrc
attribute is from a different origin than the document, and you can change the HTML inside the <iframe>
, then a script tag must be added to the HTML of the <iframe>
document. This script will set the necessary security settings in the page necessary to enable a parent window to capture a screenshot of its contents.
<!-- this script allows the Cord SDK to communicate with this iframe when taking screenshots -->
<script src="https://app.cord.com/sdk/v1/iframe.js"></script>
If the <iframe>
'ssrc
attribute is from a different origin than the document, and the <iframe>
content is outside the control of the developer, then the area of the <iframe>
will be replaced with a "Content not available" placeholder in the screenshot
