Within a Thinkwise Application (Universal GUI), we have a custom screen that's displayed in an Iframe. To send results from this Iframe the Development team tries to use a POST-command, that is blocked in the Iframe. ‘Blocked form submission to because the form's frame is sandboxed and the ‘allow-forms’ permission is not set’.

Can we solve this by adding the ‘allow-forms’ permission ‘sandbox’ attribute within the I-frame?

<iframe src="afnamedashboard.html" sandbox="allow-forms"></iframe>

Currently, the sandboxing attributes of a previewed URL control cannot be modified. However, they do allow for an alternative to form submission. You can use javascript (XHR/XmlHttpRequest) to submit data to the server.

Would this be possible in your scenario?

Also, feel free to submit a topic in the Ideation section for configurable sandbox settings for this component.

Hi,

I’m assuming you are using the Preview control to embed the custom screen. 

Are you using an URL control as preview source or a FILE UPLOAD with an HTML file as preview source?

We are using an URL control as preview source.
