HTML5 defines several embedded content elements, which, from a bird\'s-eye view, seem to be very similar to the point of being largely identical.
What is the actual
</code></h1> <blockquote> <p>The iframe element represents a nested browsing context. HTML 5 standard - "The <iframe> element"</p> </blockquote> <p>Primarily used to include resources from other domains or subdomains but can be used to include content from the same domain as well. The <code><iframe></code>'s strength is that the embedded code is 'live' and can communicate with the parent document.</p> <h1><code><embed></code></h1> <p>Standardised in HTML 5, before that it was a non standard tag, which admittedly was implemented by all major browsers. Behaviour prior to HTML 5 can vary ...</p> <blockquote> <p>The embed element provides an integration point for an external (typically non-HTML) application or interactive content. (HTML 5 standard - "The <embed> element")</p> </blockquote> <p>Used to embed content for browser plugins. Exceptions to this is SVG and HTML that are handled differently according to the standard.</p> <p>The details of what can and can not be done with the embedded content is up to the browser plugin in question. But for SVG you can access the embedded SVG document from the parent with something like:</p> <pre><code>svg = document.getElementById("parent_id").getSVGDocument(); </code></pre> <p>From inside an embedded SVG or HTML document you can reach the parent with:</p> <pre><code>parent = window.parent.document; </code></pre> <p>For embedded HTML there is no way to get at the embedded document from the parent (that I have found).</p> <h1><code><object></code></h1> <blockquote> <p>The <code><object></code> element can represent an external resource, which, depending on the type of the resource, will either be treated as an image, as a nested browsing context, or as an external resource to be processed by a plugin. (HTML 5 standard - "The <object> element")</p> </blockquote> <h1>Conclusion</h1> <p>Unless you are embedding SVG or something static you are probably best of using <code><iframe></code>. To include SVG use <code><embed></code> (if I remember correctly <code><object></code> won't let you script†). Honestly I don't know why you would use <code><object></code> unless for older browsers or flash (that I don't work with).</p> <p>† As pointed out in the comments below; scripts in <code><object></code> will run but the parent and child contexts can't communicate directly. With <code><embed></code> you can get the context of the child from the parent and vice versa. This means they you can use scripts in the parent to manipulate the child etc. That part is not possible with <code><object></code> or <code><iframe></code> where you would have to set up some other mechanism instead, such as the JavaScript postMessage API.</p> </p> <div class="appendcontent"> </div> </div> <div class="jieda-reply"> <span class="jieda-zan button_agree" type="zan" data-id='433488'> <i class="iconfont icon-zan"></i> <em>0</em> </span> <span type="reply" class="showpinglun" data-id="433488"> <i class="iconfont icon-svgmoban53"></i> 讨论(0) </span> <div class="jieda-admin"> </div> <div class="noreplaytext bb"> <center><div> <a href="https://www.e-learn.cn/qa/q-106582.html"> 查看其它4个回答 </a> </div></center> </div> </div> <div class="comments-mod " style="display: none; float:none;padding-top:10px;" id="comment_433488"> <div class="areabox clearfix"> <form class="layui-form" action=""> <div class="layui-form-item"> <label class="layui-form-label" style="padding-left:0px;width:60px;">发布评论:</label> <div class="layui-input-block" style="margin-left:90px;"> <input type="text" placeholder="不少于5个字" AUTOCOMPLETE="off" class="comment-input layui-input" name="content" /> <input type='hidden' value='0' name='replyauthor' /> </div> <div class="mar-t10"><span class="fr layui-btn layui-btn-sm addhuidapinglun" data-id="433488">提交评论 </span></div> </div> </form> </div> <hr> <ul class="my-comments-list nav"> <li class="loading"> <img src='https://www.e-learn.cn/qa/static/css/default/loading.gif' align='absmiddle' /> 加载中... </li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> <div class="layui-form layui-form-pane"> <form id="huidaform" name="answerForm" method="post"> <div class="layui-form-item layui-form-text"> <a name="comment"></a> <div class="layui-input-block"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.e-learn.cn/qa/static/js/neweditor/ueditor.config.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.e-learn.cn/qa/static/js/neweditor/ueditor.all.js"></script> <script type="text/plain" id="editor" name="content" style="width:100%;height:200px;"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var isueditor=1; var editor = UE.getEditor('editor',{ //这里可以选择自己需要的工具按钮名称,此处仅选择如下五个 toolbars:[['source','fullscreen', '|', 'undo', 'redo', '|', 'bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'fontborder', 'strikethrough', 'removeformat', 'formatmatch', 'autotypeset', 'blockquote', 'pasteplain', '|', 'forecolor', 'backcolor', 'insertorderedlist', 'insertunorderedlist', 'selectall', 'cleardoc', '|', 'rowspacingtop', 'rowspacingbottom', 'lineheight', '|', 'customstyle', 'paragraph', 'fontfamily', 'fontsize', '|', 'indent', '|', 'justifyleft', 'justifycenter', 'justifyright', 'justifyjustify', '|', 'link', 'unlink', 'anchor', '|', 'simpleupload', 'insertimage', 'scrawl', 'insertvideo', 'attachment', 'map', 'insertcode', '|', 'horizontal', '|', 'preview', 'searchreplace', 'drafts']], initialContent:'', //关闭字数统计 wordCount:false, zIndex:2, //关闭elementPath elementPathEnabled:false, //默认的编辑区域高度 initialFrameHeight:250 //更多其他参数，请参考ueditor.config.js中的配置项 //更多其他参数，请参考ueditor.config.js中的配置项 }); editor.ready(function() { editor.setDisabled(); }); $("#editor").find("*").css("max-width","362px"); </script> </div> </div> <div class="layui-form-item"> <label for="L_vercode" class="layui-form-label">验证码</label> <div class="layui-input-inline"> <input type="text" id="code" name="code" value="" required lay-verify="required" placeholder="图片验证码" autocomplete="off" class="layui-input"> </div> <div class="layui-form-mid"> <span style="color: #c00;"><img class="hand" src="https://www.e-learn.cn/qa/user/code.html" onclick="javascript:updatecode();" id="verifycode"><a class="changecode" href="javascript:updatecode();"> 看不清?</a></span> </div> </div> <div class="layui-form-item"> <input type="hidden" value="106582" id="ans_qid" name="qid"> <input type="hidden" id="tokenkey" name="tokenkey" value=''/> <input type="hidden" value="difference between iframe, embed and object elements" id="ans_title" name="title"> <div class="layui-btn layui-btn-disabled" id="ajaxsubmitasnwer" >提交回复</div> </div> </form> </div> </div> <input type="hidden" value="106582" id="adopt_qid" name="qid" /> <input type="hidden" id="adopt_answer" value="0" name="aid" /> </div> <div class="layui-col-md4"> <!-- 热门讨论问题 --> <dl class="fly-panel fly-list-one"> <dt class="fly-panel-title">热议问题</dt> <!-- 本周热门讨论问题显示10条-->
