Embed widget

The Embed widget allows you to embed website content using a URL or code for additional custom functionality.

Examples

Use this widget to support app design requirements such as the following:

• You have a requirement to provide additional information from a website based on the selection of a feature. The feature layer contains a field with URLs to websites that you want to embed once a user selects a feature on the map or clicks a button to see more information for that feature.
• You want to embed content using HTML code (such as a website) or copy the code from a sample (such as point clustering).

Usage notes

The following is an example of how to use custom code to embed an iframe:

<iframe width="100%" height="600px" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://developers.arcgis.com/"></iframe></div>

Note:

If you choose to display a PDF directly in the Embed widget, some users may not be able to view it in certain browsers for security reasons.
