I can’t load facebook into an iframe, in a web page like the following one:

<html>
<head>
<!-- some stuffs here -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- some stuffs here -->
<iframe src="http://www.google.com" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>

I’ve tested it with other websites and it seems to load without problems for instance for wired.com, but not for facebook.com…

Can anyone explain me why?

I’m using Google Chrome and Safari, if needed.

It seems to be as if Google blocks iframe loading of its page.

    If you use Firebug or Google Chrome’s developer console, you can see the following error

    Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options.

    X-Frame-Options

    DENY
    The page cannot be displayed in a frame, regardless of the site attempting to do so.

    SAMEORIGIN
    The page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself.
