I hesitate a bit in raising questions about HTML5 here, mostly because of concerns that the violence of that conversation will enter the discussion here. Nonetheless, this list is the best place I know of to discuss markup best practices, and seems like the right place to ask the question. The iframe element has always been a tricky critter, but in HTML5 it's picked up a srcdoc attribute which "gives the content of the page that the nested browsing context is to contain." This allows the construction of short documents in an iframe context without requiring a separate HTTP request through the src attribute. Details can be found here: <http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/the-iframe-element.html> <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-iframe-element.html> So what does this look like? Here are three examples from those specs. ----------------------------------- <iframe seamless sandbox="allow-same-origin" srcdoc="<p>did you get a cover picture yet?"></iframe> <iframe seamless sandbox="allow-same-origin" srcdoc="<p>Yeah, you can see it <a href="/gallery?mode=cover&amp;page=1">in my gallery</a>."></iframe> <iframe seamless sandbox="allow-same-origin" srcdoc="<p>hey that's earl's table. <p>you should get earl&amp;me on the next cover."></iframe> ----------------------------------- What do folks think? Is this reasonable, given the use case, or is this pushing too hard on attributes and escaping? I wonder if just letting iframe have child content would make more sense, but I suspect that raises more compatibility problems with older browsers. Thanks, -- Simon St.Laurent http://simonstl.com/
