title: IFrame page
summary: Embed IFrames in your website without adding code

# IFrame

## In this section:

* Create and modify an IFrame

## Before we begin
Make sure that your SilverStripe installation has the [IFrame](http://addons.silverstripe.org/add-ons/silverstripe/iframe) module installed.

This module provides a page type that you can use to embed IFrames in your website.

## Creating an IFrame

IFrame pages are created like any other page. When you create a new page, selected the **I Frame Page** from the list of available page types.

There are a few new fields on an IFrame page.

The most important is *Iframe URL*: this is the URL that wish you display inside the IFrame. This can be an absolute
path (ie, http://example.com/) or a relative path (ie, /about-us/). If it is a relative path then it will be assumed to
be from the root of your site (ie, http://mysite.com/about-us/).

*Auto height* will change the height of the IFrame to match the total height of the remote page.
_This will only work if the remote page is hosted on the same domain._

If you check *Auto width* the IFrame will take up the entire width of the content area that it is in.

You can manually set the height and width with the *Fixed height* and *Fixed width* fields.
The Auto width/height options must not be enabled for these fields to work.

The *Content* field has been broken up into three separate fields: one to display above the IFrame, one to display
beneath the IFrame, and another to display instead of the IFrame if the user has disabled them.

## Known Issues

A common test case is to enter "http://google.com" as the IFrame URL. This won't work! Google's website has the
*X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN* header which means that it can only be displayed in an IFrame with a bit of technical
hackery. If you experience a white box displaying with any other website, check if it has that option set in the
header.
