How to display a HTML Page in Webdynpro (without IFrame)?

[former_member136387]

Hi everyone,

maybe this one is really simple. I have a RFC returning the URL to a HTML-Page in the backend. Which of the standard UI-Elements should I use to display that page in my Webdynpro?

My first guess was to use the IFrame. However, according to different sources this element is deprecated and buggy. So I'm hesitating.

Are there any other possibilities? Or is it ok to use IFrame nevertheless?

Many thanks,

Xiaopeng

Hi Xiaopeng,

If you are talking about displaying inside your page then Iframe is the only option i guess.But as others suggested to you Iframe has problems.

You can use LinkToUrl UI,but then it will bring you a new window.

You can fire a child window to the requested Url.

Yes, my idea is to have the page displayed in place and not in an external window.

Well, I think I just try out the IFrame then. Maybe the bugs are not that serious anyway.

Hi,

just one thought.

Why can't you specify target=_SELF straight away in LinkToURL component?

hi Ashutosh,

I took a look at the help document. It states that "_self" is no longer supported. And I should use exit plugs instead and specify the URL there.

But even that won't serve the purpose. I have other UI-elements (fields, tables) on the same screen where I want the page being embedded next to them as co-component. Using _SELF and clicking on the link would would remove all other components.
