Can I use the extension on pages that contain iFrames?

Yes, you can use the Scrible extension on such pages, but with a few considerations to keep in mind. Here's what you need to know:

Main Page vs. iFrames:

• The Scrible extension will annotate content on the main page without any issues.
• However, due to browser security restrictions, content inside iFrames (Inline Frames) cannot be annotated directly. iFrames are like 'windows' within your web page, often used to embed another document within the page.

Notifications and Cursor Behavior:

• If a significant portion of a page's content is within iFrames, Scrible will notify you of this.
• You might notice that your cursor doesn't change to the selected Scrible tool when hovered over iFrame content. This is a visual cue of the limitation.

Workarounds for iFrame Content:

• Sometimes, websites use iFrames for elements like header bars, while the main content is sourced from another site. If this is the case, you might be able to visit the source website directly for full Scrible functionality.

• Alternatively, you can try to open the iFrame content as its own webpage. Here's how:

  • Firefox: Right-click on the iFrame, select This Frame > Show Only This Frame from the menu, then load the extension as usual.

  • Safari: Right-click on the iFrame and choose Open Frame in New Tab, then proceed to load the bookmarklet as usual.

  • Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome: Unfortunately, these browsers don't offer straightforward options to open an iFrame as a separate page. You might need to explore other workarounds or visit the original source if possible.

By understanding these nuances, you can navigate and utilize the Scrible extension more effectively, even on complex web pages with iFrames. If you encounter any specific challenges or need further assistance, feel free to reach out for support.
