iframe and forms - any problems? (generally)

[soulbrother]

Hi all,
I just got a request from a client:

Is it possible to show a html site with an iframe in the panorama?
-- my answer: yes, shure

Client: And is it possible to show a site with forms, like contact-form and other complicate php forms?
-- my answer: not shure if there might be any problem with forma or similar...

So my simple question to you all, is:
Did somebody meet any problems in regards of iframe of html-form-site in panoramatour?
Or can you give any other tips, to avoid problems in that combination?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
This should work fine, if the pano is on the same domain as the website then there should not be any reasons when this will not work.
It can get a bit more complicated if the pano and websites are hosted on different domains, servers etc.

Hi,

Probably the biggest issue I've run into when using iFrames to load external content is the way that different browsers deal with scrollbars.

To that end I've created a two-part tutorial, "Scrolling iFrames in a Gallery Component".

https://tonyredhead.com/pano2vr/scrolli ... mes-ios-p1

This tutorial covers the implementation of scrollable iFrames within the built-in Gallery Component. It was developed in response to a Pano2VR forum post viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11633 in regard to loading external web pages into the gallery and then a further discussion on how to enable scrolling on iOS devices.

It may help with your development.

Cheers,

Tony
