I try to add dynamically an iframe to a web page using JavaScript. I would like to know if that’s possible to set the src attribute of my iframe without using another html file via an URL.
I mean is there a way to “fake” the html for the src attribute file with a JS variable where we I can set my code (which is JS itself) ?
I would use the DOM createElement to create the iframe in jQuery.

Thanks !

    You could look into data:URIs.

    <iframe src="data:text/html, .... URLencoded HTML data ....">

    alternatively

    <iframe src="data:text/html;base64, .... base64 encoded HTML data ....">

    The scheme is supported by IE >= 8 (MSDN source), Firefox, Safari 3+ and Opera.

    It has differing length limits. Opera is said to cut off at about 4 kilobytes; Internet Explorer at 32 kilobytes. Firefox has no explicit length limit.
