iFrame Difficulties

I have an iFrame setup and it works fine with local pages, but not any external pages. Is there a feature blocking that on x10hosting? I didn't think it was against the terms of service, but am I wrong?

var query = document.location.search.substring(1);
var params = query.split('&');
var url = params[0].split('=');
alert(url);
document.write('<iframe id="displayFrame" frameborder="0" width="' + (screen.availWidth - 34) + '" height="' + GetHeight() + '" src=' + url[1] + '></iframe>');

The alert prints the url properly (http:\\www.google.com for example) and again, it works with internal pages (like index.php).

To answer the main question, no, there is no feature blocking iframe content unless you put it there yourself (bust-out code, referer-based .htaccess restrictions, that sort of thing).

You may, however, be running into difficulties with relative URLs or same-source restrictions in the browser. As descalzo pointed out, a URL or code to look at would be nice. (Preferably both, since many of the sorts of problems that can arise can't really be spotted by viewing the page source, and it helps to see if your code is actually resolving to the values you expect in the browser.)

Try it with a different external URL. Pretty sure that Google does not want to be put in iframes and has code to blank itself out if you try.

You're right again, thanks. I had tried a few and none of them liked it, but I finally got smart enough to try another one of my sites and that worked.

To add to the other comments about including code, proper sample code (complete, concise, representative) should accompany every development question. See the links in my sig for more guidelines.

Please use
PHP:
, [html] or [code] tags (as appropriate) to separate and format code.
