(external website) refused to connect

Post by wifinut »

I'm using a Themeable Menu on the left side of my page and an Inline frame to display results of my external website fetch. I have 8 menu items that all lead to different external websites. The problem is some of the pages display "{website} Refused to connect". Just as a quick test I used test pages like https://www.youtube.com and https://www.reddit.com but got the same result. My Link configuration is identical across all pages. I have no entries in the "Events" tab.

There are many sites that don't allow to be embedded thru an i-frame.

With Youtube, you find the embed code and then add itinto an HTML frame.

For security purposes many sites (Facebook, Google) block themselves being displayed within a iframe from another source such as your site even though you have configuredit to do so. Note this is unrelated to the use of the program.

All interesting things to think about. I'll most likely resort to HTML instead of iFrame.
Thanks all for the quick responses.
