I have a little problem and I’m hopping that you can help me solve this annoying issue.
I need to use an iFrame in an administration panel to let users use the selection service, and in the HTML I have:
<iframe scrolling='yes' runat='server' title='Par Selection' id='iFrame' frameborder='0' enableviewstate='true' width='100%' height='490' /> in my code-behind file I have:
iFrame.Attributes.Add('src', String.Format( 'https://www.parurval.se/urval/?username={0}&password={1}', parSettings.GetSettings(parSettings.SettingsType.PARSelection, parSettings.SectionType.Username), parSettings.GetSettings(parSettings.SettingsType.PARSelection, parSettings.SectionType.Password))); The output is this:
<iframe id='tcMain_tabPARSelection_iFrame' scrolling='yes' title='Par Selection' frameborder='0' width='100%' height='490' src='https://www.parurval.se/urval/?username=myUsername&password=myPassword'> </iframe> Please note the & instead & sign in the src address when passing username and password
How can I prevent this?
I tried with HttpUtility.Decode( myCompleteUrl ) but with the same achievement 🙁
The worst thing is, if the src code has only the address
... src='https://www.parurval.se/urval/' ... I’m not able to input the user/pwd, I see the form and I can enter text, but it does nothing, it only refreshes the iframe inner page, doing this in a full window, works fine.
And in that administration panel I have a textbox to the user add the username and password in order that entering the Administration page, I will jump directly to the service in the iFrame so the user does not need to enter user/pwd to login every time, that is way I’m trying to add those values dynamically.
Any ideas?
Added: If I put the correct URL address (with user and pwd) in the iFrame src attribute in the HTML side (not dynamically) all works fine 🙁
The presense of the & is actually correct there. Most browsers are forgiving enough not to choke on just seeing & there, but it’s technically not correct.
